Not bad for a Part-Time job out of high school

Pros

Great coworkers, meet a lot of cool people Decent management, they seem to know what they are doing. (Some) customers can be really friendly and nice to talk to Very flexible with time off (I go to school full time so this is a must)

Cons

Low pay (Minimum wage) Shifts can be very long (Especially closing shifts since you HAVE to clean the store before you leave) Many customers can be extremely rude for no reason Coupons for the store are VERY obscure (Makes customers very angry at me when they don't get the "sales" price) Managers tend to focus on selling BPP's (Buyer protection), rewards cards, credit cards, etc. instead of focusing on more positive aspects. This is expected because they are probably forced to by THEIR supervisors.

Pros

Flexibility Great brand Christmas could be fun if it wasn't so stressful Pay was ok Teamwork between stores within the district

Cons

Christmas was a nightmare Following national expectations/communications rewarded you with chastisement from regional management.. As in all retail, too much work and not enough payroll to do it successfully Constant never ending changes sometimes within hours to corp procedures/expectations Wanted to sell warranties, batteries, and credit card more than toys

Pros

The people who are at the lower level are dedicated to the company

Cons

Simply put - Upper management. They have made it extremely difficult for stores to be successful. Payroll is barely visible during the week and they continue to cutback as sales do not perform to the expectation
