Pros

The union prevents needless firings. Friendly management and working atmosphere. Celebrates birthdays and special events; makes you feel like family. Willing to work with you on a schedule

Cons

Not much room for advancement. Relatively low pay for the same amount of work as other stores. Doesn't give recommendation letters, only QA forms.

Pros

In general, the people are great. Pay is good, work life balance depends on the job, located in the west for Tech jobs

Cons

Sr Management has changed after many years of stability, Reorganizations have happened often since then, yet old responsibilities still in place as well.

Pros

Very flexible schedule so perfect for students wanting to make a little extra cash and not sacrificing their social life.

Cons

Pay is a little low depending on what your expenses are but enough for weekend spending cash plus a few bills.
