Pros

If you truly love customer service then this is the job for you, otherwise you'll be frustrated. Most managers are nice and fair. They will train you or speak from a position of positive leadership and expectation. They also attempt to encourage good performance through games, Star rewards program & personal rewards like Starbucks. The work can be intensely physical, and the expectations are high but mostly in a good way because you feel accomplished when you complete your projects.

Cons

Like any job, sometimes the management really doesn't have the proper training to be a good manager or lead staff. It's easy to criticize or strike someone down because they haven't met expectation, but much more challenging to lead someone to success through example,by providing proper training and actual leadership. Move fast, walk fast, service the customer fast. This is a good and bad thing. I think before I do, but if you can run on fumes and process without thinking you're in good form and in the right place.

Pros

My coworkers and a steady wpaycheck. And meeting some great people. The discount is nice.

Cons

This company likes to put all the work on its associates. Anything that’s grunt work or where you have to get your hands dirty. All they care about are pushing out those credit cards. I’ve seen some of the best employees quit because they’re burnt out and don’t get scheduled any hours. I don’t blame them. I’m looking for another job as I type this. My body hurts and I’m being abused physically and taken advantage of.
