Pros

Great benefits, wonderful crew members and mates. Captain makes the store a fun place to work. I wouldn't work any where else and I've worked alot of places.

Cons

There is no training program. You're given an order to write and it's sink or swim.

Pros

Very good benefits, including 10% discount, even for "part-time" employees (T-shirt wearers) Your days can be filled with variety Somewhat flexible hours Most of the crew is great to work with; Chance to get to know the regular customers

Cons

Management will do whatever it takes to get ahead, including lying. No professional training Opportunities to learn something new are at the discretion of "managers" and based on who is a suck-up (great opp's) and who is not (no opp's)
