Pros

Good benefits, plenty of room for advancement, lots of stores means lots of places to be able to work across the country.

Cons

You are a peon. Nothing is ever good enough. You will always be yelled at and berated for the one thing that wasn't perfect, and the 10 thousand things that were will be ignored. Also, if you have a life before you are hired, you won't have it after you've started to move up. The number of hours you are expected to work keeps going up and up, and you are made to feel guilty about requesting any time off (for doctors appointments, activities with your family or friends, etc.).

Pros

In-store management was great, very nice and fun to work with, and was very accommodating when needed.

Cons

I was supposed to be on the official schedule after one week of working, but it took three months to be placed on the schedule, so every day I had to message the store manager to ask if I was needed to work. Once I was on the schedule, I hurt myself outside of work and had to take a day off to go to the doctor (i got someone to cover my shift), After that, I was not on the schedule anymore. I messaged the store manager, the other managers, and the scheduling manager, and after 2 months, I still wasn't on the schedule. I asked the Store manager again, and she said it was my fault I wasn't on the schedule despite the fact that I was messaging everyone I could. I then put my two weeks in because she refused to let me work.
