Pros

Customers are great and it was nice to work in a crafting environment.

Cons

District management and up all treat the store employees like they are not human. Store managers do not last more then 2.5 years - they all get fired. Hours given to employes are based on sales. It does not matter that you have 50 hours or resetting to do. If your sales are low they expect you to do it 20 because they can't spare the extra money to pay someone to help you. District managers come in and grade you on if the store is stocked. They pick x amount of items and if you are out of the item you flunk. It does not matter that someone may have bought all 3 that you keep in stock yesterday - it is considered a fail. The pay is so low that a mom of 2 who had been working there full time for 10 years still qualified for food stamps. There are no advancement opportunities.
