Pros

The "Crew" culture is genuinely supportive, and the combination of competitive pay, a decent employee discount, and a vibrant work environment makes the shifts fly by.

Cons

The physical demand of standing for hours combined with the "emotional labor" of maintaining high energy and constant small talk can lead to quick burnout during busy seasons.

Management and environment were like a boys club. A lot of highschool drama and gossip behavior. Store attracted affluent people who are rude and entitled.
