Good and supportive management and coworkers, decent pay compared to other retail stores, fairly easy to get time off when requested

Cons

Too pushy when it comes to asking customers to open a credit card, tend to hire too many employees and then can't give them the hours they want

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.
