Pros

Great co-workers Fun work environment Learned a lot of good decorating skills Flexible hours

Cons

Management expects you to be a machine, and is generally unappreciative of work done, only focusing on what wasn't finished. I busted my butt for six years being the head, and usually only, decorator and never felt appreciated by upper management. Saw a lot of young part timers come and go because payroll refused to give them more than 12 hours a week at 8$/hr. No wonder they would leave. After 6 years, averaging 30 hours a week, my pay only went up by 2$ an hour.

Pros

Fun Job. Time flies when working. Learn new skills.

Cons

Management does NOT care about you only the work you do. You will be overworked and underpaid. Very little training and they expect you to know everything within a couple weeks. Managers are lazy and will put their work on you! Work place is full of drama and creepy people that HR looks the other way because of 'popularity'. This is not the only location with problems the whole company is a mess. Constantly switching out district managers. Ops were horrible, they would come boss everyone around to try to make the shop look perfect in 1 shift, often making a lot of people miss their breaks and work overtime. Frozen loads and products would go to waste due to miscommunication between managers and no one seemed to ever want to fix any problems. Extremely low morale and high turnover. Stay far away from this place unless you're really sure you're only staying a while.
