Pros

Not really sure of any pros ... Maybe the discount at Torrid or HotTopic

Cons

Very very very low pay for the work you put in. Part time employee $7.25 lowest paid company in the mall. The manager was new in her role, but did not know anything about the company. Was told to clock out and that she would adjust our time cards?????? I feel like there was time card fraud going on. The manager hired all her friends from HotTopic, but they stated you can't be friends with employees on a different level from you. One employee's mother is even friends with the store manager.

Pros

Interesting merchandise. Passionate customers. Fairly easy everyday tasks.

Cons

Management is too forceful about making workers push sale numbers. If your average sale at checkout is too low you'll get in trouble, so you have to get customers to buy things they obviously don't want. It makes you feel like you're cheating the customer and driving them away. Each employee's sale numbers are posted for all other workers to see and every worker must sign the paper to acknowledge the competitive system BoxLunch pushes. Even if you meet goal, if you're bottom on the list you'll get a lecture. I personally thought it was a very negative environment. Workers quickly became hostile of each other because sales were so competitive. Also, if the store undersold that week your shift might be cancelled an hour before. Or they might call you out of nowhere and expect you to come in short notice.
