Pros

Most of the people I worked with were nice and helpful being new. The benefits were great, need time to read and go through everything. the times were good I enjoyed coming in at 4 for stocking when they needed extra help, time goes by faster.

Cons

I would say the managers on the floor were not easily approachable, they looked over whelmed or as if they didn't have time to talk, it is fast paced. I was told by another employee to keep to my work and not talk much, and found out they don't care much on customer service, from someone from the floor as one who enjoys helping people I guess they have a department for that, so send the customer to some else while I keep to doing my job at task and just keep moving, take your break and get back to it, no talking just say welcome the customer and keep folding or straightening.

Pros

Great for college students and paying bills. Good benefits.

Cons

Management was terrible there and you would have to remind them constantly about your class schedule as a college student.
