Pros

The people I worked with were amazing, and the regular customers are a joy to help every day. The job becomes easy once the proper training is given and followed through with.

Cons

It took well over a month for me to be fully trained in my position. The manager took a hands-off approach to my training until it became apparent that I was completely unprepared on my first shift running the store by myself. This became a regular occurrence. Action was taken by management only when it was clear that something HAD to be done. I expected to have training that would prepare me for the position in time to do things on my own, not to have training that became disaster relief. Things were only taught to me when things went completely sideways. This was management's mode of operation in all aspects of the store. Problem employees were brought to management's attention over and over, but action was taken only when it became absolutely necessary, when their hand was forced. The employee in question verbally abused a customer and that prompted a response, despite several warnings being given by all the assistants and other employees over and over again. I've heard great things about other managers from other stores, but this one leaves a lot to be desired. Approach with caution.

Pros

Surprisingly Great Access to Benefits. I opened up an HSA and had access to a company sponsored HDHP insurance plan, so it's a legit savings account. Well, they throw the food out at the end of the day, so if you buy anything while you're working there then you're making a mistake. Great work environment, like they can actually sell chocolate bars inside! -- What a bar.

Cons

Well, you can only stay there for so long. I found if you don't try out the deals then your particularly hurtful to customers, the caviot is the food deals are a waste of time. They'll work you if you try the stuff, so just don't try anything.
