Pros

I love working here because there is an actual sense of ownership with the company. I feel that I am actually recognized by the "big wigs" by my first name rather than "just another employee". Management works with my schedule the best they can and gives raises based on hours worked, with plenty of advancement opportunities.

Cons

Sometimes you will run into a store manager that does things completely different then what you are used to. They expect you to know how they like things, and rather than coaching you to tell you what you NEED to do, they just keep pointing out the bad things, not really praising. But like I said, this is only some store managers

A Waste of Time

Pros

I met great people here (customers) and I met my husband here. They were helpful with my maternity leave in the beginning.

Cons

Work-life balance is horrible. I would get off of work at midnight after an 8+ hour shift to come in again 7 hours later for another 8 hour shift. Typical high school gossip and nosy coworkers. One lead clerk in particular (who i was never fond of) was so scatterbrained and followed her lead clerk boyfriend around ALL DAY LONG and never attended to customers or unlocked my register for an override. Remind me why she was my supervisor? She became to personal and commented that since her and my husband (then boyfriend) are friends, she thought that I automatically was her friend to. Are you kidding me? It doesn't get more childish then that.

Pros

I really dont have any pros for this job.

Cons

Benefits are not great, opportunity to advance are very slim, very hard to get full-time status to max your pay at 18 an hour, assistant managers run skeleton crews on freight and cut hours so they can get bigger bonuses, its not the same for every store just the one I was at
