Pros

Benefits (if full time) Friendly associates

Cons

MANAGEMENT!! Management plays favorites and seems to really only be concerned with how their outcome is, not their associates. They will lie and manipulate you to get what they want out of you then try to toss you out with the trash. They often take very long lunch breaks most often when the store is slammed and already short staffed. I have on more then one occasion witnessed upper level management talk behind an associates back even go as far as cracking jokes to one another. (In front of non management personnel) There is no type of discount even for senior employees. There is a lack of respect for the individuals who actually deal with customers face to face on a daily basis and management will not back an associate up on anything. "Standard practice" is a joke and only certain associates are made to follow.. Training should be done by the manager or assistants and not rookies on the field. Ending in the "trained" associate getting flagged for their performance when it was how they were taught to do something.

Pros

In my location at this point the management is very good at passing along workers who are unkind and have bad attitudes.

Cons

Currently, the most difficult part would be the dealing with people who are trying to scam us.
