Pros

Pay better than other retailers (for interns at least), they have locations everywhere so you probably wont have to pay for housing, most of the people that work there are nice.

Cons

A lot of bureaucracy and a lack of creativity, atmosphere is very grey, most people are working there because they have too and managers are working for retirement, lack of communication between regional and store managers leads to a lot of problems and confusion, overall not very challenging for a university student.

Pros

I gained good customer service and problem solving experience while working here. You learn how to multitask under pressure. I also gained experience gift wrapping(I found out I enjoy this part of the job a lot), shipping orders, and overall in store functions. I met many supportive and enjoyable coworkers while working here as well as memorable customers.

Cons

The main Cons of working here were: -Chronic understaffing -Too many responsibilities expected from one associate -Feeling unsupported by main management - Hard work and extra effort often goes unrecognized - High stress due to unrealistic workload expectations - Limited opportunities for actual feedback to management to actually improve
