Pros

The people were great, I loved my coworkers and bosses. They were flexible with the schedule. The discount was nice too.

Cons

There's a lot of micromanaging that goes on. I was told down to the word how to inquire about the customers day. I was encouraged to follow customers around the store even when they didn't want the help. I was also told to just demand the customers phone numbers for our database, rather than asking. This didn't sit well with me. Finally, they hired too many people so some weeks I was only getting about 8 hours. I think this could be a great job for the right person. It just wasn't a good fit for me.

Pros

BoxLunch Pros: Internal ladder system: Within a year, I went from Sales Associate to Key Holder to (PT) Assistant Manager (transfer to new location). Relaxed dress standards Often the regulars are kind & entertaining to engage with HotTopic offers great benefits for management postions We help give back to the community through our partnership with Feeding America

Cons

It can be hard to move up within the same location, often you will only be considered for promotions from sales if you inquire initially. (From management perspective, it can be hard to tell who wants to move up or who just wants a weekend job when in a college area like I was.) It can be hard to get days off during comic/pop-culture conventions
