Pros

The good people you meet while working here. They are the only ones that help you keep your sanity long enough to endure the bs you deal with.

Cons

Ooh where do I begin? I have worked for this company for over 10 years and have nothing to show for it. I was at a higher position but voluntarily stepped down for personal reasons and because of that I of course took a pay cut. Even though I have been at my store longer than any other current employee at that location, I was dropped down to minimum wage. On top of that my work hours are so low that my paycheck doesn't even come to $100. I have been denied any extra hours because my sales aren't good enough. I admit I am terrible at selling, but I will do whatever I can to help a customer. I have been thanked numerous times by customers just for doing what I am supposed to do. Commission is a joke. Unless you have an extremely productive day or you steal or cheat personal sales, then most likely you are not going to make commission. If you don't make commission, then you don't get hours. So is the lesson here cheat and steal so you get more money?? I certainly hope not. I have gladly helped out my co-workers in getting certain things done, but now that I am just a sales associate I am no longer allowed to do these things. I feel like I am being treated as if I know nothing about the store. I have bent over backwars for this company but because I needed a little time for my family (which is a hell of a lot more important than this place), I get slapped in the face. I can not wait until I find another job and can finally leave this company. So many years of my life have been wasted here.

Pros

Flexible Schedule, Easy, good job for someone going to school

Cons

Low Pay, No training, sales associates cheat commission , everything is old fashioned..associates don't even have the option of getting direct deposit they only offer paper checks which are issued on Saturday's. Management has to key in the hours for all the hours worked by everyone at the end of the night which takes time and mistakes can be made we do clock in on the computer but they don't even go by that, they use a sign in sheet to record our times and then at the end of the night it is entered in the system..very old school. Also we have to spend time folding journal tape at the end of the night ,I don't even know of any places that use journal tape anymore and we have to take our own deposits to the bank late at night after the store closes..to me that is a safety issue but whatever. They do not give raises they don't don't do reviews they will just tell you to sell more and that's how you will make more per hour, but what they don't tell you is your commission is averaged into your hours worked for the week so one day you may have done really well and made commission and the next few days it was slow and you didn't so you don't make any extra money, plus you have associates who just say they helped someone and they really didn't and they get the sale and steal commission and nothing is ever done about it and then you have people who are honest and hardworking and barley every make commission bc they clean and do other tasks
