Pros

Awesome coworkers, discount at all Hot Topic owned stores, fun work environment, quick opportunities for growth, mostly friendly customers

Cons

Upper management picks favorites so things get dramatic quickly, claims to be a "classier" Hot Topic when they're exactly the same minus the music merch, and they won't let you dye your hair or have "more piercings than necessary". Like really? Look at your clientele.

Pros

Cool customers. Great place to meet new people. Fun work staff. Good discount.

Cons

Unnecessary paperwork that takes up working time (it's honestly turned into a humiliation ritual atp if yk yk). Management with obvious favorites. Resellers can be horrible people and will try to make you the bad guy for doing your job (not all resellers ofc but a good chunk regardless). Crazy unrealistic expectations sometimes. Not everyone wants to sign up for loyalty for many reasons regardless of how many times you ask and try and yet if you miss a few you're the one in trouble.
