Pros

The discount is incredible and the work is super easy. The pay is decent for retail.

Cons

Everyone at my location hates it there. The management is awful. Our general manager is lazy, selfish, and is terrible at managing people. She actively avoids helping her employees. She doesn't support or communicate with her shift leaders. Every single shift leader in our store is stressed. I do not recommend moving up in this company. It's all politics in our district, as our DM has a very large ego and does not respond well to criticism of any sort. One person who was applying for a shift leader position was told if they wanted to be promoted, they should go to the DM's Christmas party. They don't address employee concerns. This company does not treat long term employees well. They've been steadily decreasing benefits for years. They force you to wait an entire year before the possibility of an incremental raise.

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.
