Pros

hours were very accomodating, initial training was a good experience

Cons

The training was very hands on with watching videos, these video during the training painted an image that was far from the truth. Alot of times during the training they had the same players over and over. Also the players in the training videos were all corporate people that helped paint and show this "perfect" company image. When it came time for pay raises these raises were very small and puny. my wage after 1 year went from 40,000 to only 40,800. The company also believes in using double standards in corrective action. The store management only uses corrective action when they feel appropriate to do so. They also allow other management to yell and use inapropriate language to members of the staff. The company also uses an alert line number where you are allowed to call in when you feel you are being mistreated. This alert line is a waste of time and no results ever are resolved by using this. The only thing that happens is a statement is taken and any issues are never resolved. My training was mostly on the road at other stores in other states. they spent an immense amount of money training me and then laid me off when the company had issues expanding in the Buffalo market. i was laid off from management while another member of management that was hired after me and with limited training still remained on staff.

Great fun, but fickle management.

Pros

I get a 50% discount on clothing, books, music, movies, and 30% off of everything else. I have a relatively fun time with most of the customers, and most of my coworkers are friendly.

Cons

Management is insane. On the sliding scale of employee value from inseparable-to-expendable, they weigh heavily on the expendable side. I've been there for only a short while and already I've seen several people come and go. The environment is not condusive to productivity from employees.
