Pros

My fellow Crew Members make the job significantly better. They offer flexible hours. Initially it was a great college job. The work is very easy- anyone can do it.

Cons

Excellent workers are not rewarded. Mediocrity is the standard. After 4 years, there is nothing more to gain as a crew member. No one, at any level, seems to care anymore. Its retail and the customers can be rude, insulting, and cold. The job itself can be demoralizing

Pros

I have lots of fun working here. My coworkers are great people and the managers are extremely fun to be with. Very few problems with the customers. The work environment overall is better than any place I have worked before. Plus the compensation is way above minimum wage. They are flexible for scheduling making it possible to go to school while working.

Cons

Since I work at a new store, the management hasn't become well oiled with each other. The hours can be all over the place.

Pros

Great Benefits, Challenging work environment, a sense of ownership and store pride that I have not seen elsewhere.

Cons

Being retail, working weekends and some holidays can be a drag. But then again, if you want weekends and holidays off, retail is probably not for you.
