Pros

Associate Discount Coworkers are great to get along with

Cons

Minimum wage. they expect you to do the most with the very little they give you. Management doesn't care about your wellbeing. Some night you close at 11pm and are there until after 2am. Breaks are short and if you have less than 30 mins you cannot leave the store for lunch. They threaten you a lot with being let go if you dont get enough credit card applications if a customer yells at you dont expect back up. i got yelled at by a customer who proceeded to wreck a shelf because her coupon didn't work for her purchase which was big name brand and the managers just stood around and made us clean it instead of asking her to leave. they don't care if the customers yell at you or basically treat you like trash lol they have you on your feet all day they dont pay you more for speaking diff languages they leave you unscheduled for weeks without explaination you also have no place to move up in the company and better yourself just another dead end job

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.
