Pros

Good place to move up, if you are there for awhile Can get a job to different store, if you relocate Nice people to work with, usually young people Good place to start your work experience Good employee discounts, that applies at clearance and sales that other stores do not have

Cons

Sometimes there are not enough employees so it can be stresfull to work especially in the big sales days, or weekends they call you all the time to go to work, even when you are not supposed too your schedule will not make sense; sometimes they can schedule 5 hours per week, sometimes 20 or on Monday you may work 2 hours and Tuesday 12 hours they pay can be better, but it is kindly the same as other stores
