Pros
Great B.E.S.T training. Mr. Cecil (the owner) tries to come and meet every training class and welcome new employees. Fantastic management and exceptional co-workers. Everyone is professional, no matter what position. The thing I enjoyed the most was being allowed and encouraged to go above and beyond for customers. My supervisors at the Carriage House Gift Shops always set a great example about how to treat others.
Cons
There isn't much room to grow. You could potentially jump up to a Supervisor after a few years, but this place is so competitive to work at that everyone else around you (even working the cash register) has a college degree and 25 years professional experience. We work there because we love the environment and co-workers. I dreamed of making it to the corporate side, but it just never happened. Also the starting pay is $9.00 usually.
