Pros

Extremely laid back environment as far as retail goes. Coworkers and customers were mostly cool, management was flexible about working around my school schedule. The job is easy but varied enough to keep it interesting.

Cons

The quality of the work environment varies widely by location. Some managers are helpful and positive; some are an utter nightmare. Some shift leaders are great; some sit in the office on their phones all night. The company is not as profitable as it could be due mostly to unwise decisions made on the corporate level. Store employees suffer the most, with increased responsibility and slashed benefits.

Pros

Great coworkers. Get quarterly bonus checks. Not a super hard job.

Cons

Mangement is kinda iffy and they really require you to do a lot more work than you're paid for.
