Pros

The discount The people The customers Floor sets were fun always a blast.

Cons

The pay structure is not the best. That is being polite. New people were making more than people who have been there for years. There was no system in place to properly communicate to the associates at the start of there shift. Even after training you feel thrown to the wolves. Supervisors have favorites and are buddy buddy. The entire management team was inconsistent and angry.

Pros

Decent hours, you get off earlier depending on the size of the truck coming in that day which can be a good and bad thing. You also get several hours before the store opens without customers. No late nights.

Cons

Too early for some, and even earlier mornings during high traffic times of the year like Christmas/Black Friday Sales days.
