Pros

- Decent bonuses [Usually as store credit checks, but the annual Instant Profit Sharing bonus comes as a standard check, and the amount you get back increases every year]

Cons

- Frequently understaffed in the sales departments; frequently causes issues with guests finding help. - Multiple frustrating policy changes, seems to have gotten worse over time [Changed from 1 Lunch (30 min) & 2 Breaks (10 min) for an 8 hour shift to 1 Lunch & 1 Break; cannot create self-service tickets at the register anymore; cannot write remaining totals on credit checks anymore, etc.] - Guests can be extremely frustrating to deal with at times. - The Bag Sale is The Worst.

Pros

A few of the people are nice to work with.

Cons

A store manager who talks down to employees like they're children (and apparently gets promoted for it). A store manager who acts like employees are idiots for calling him to ask questions. Raises are pathetic. Understaffed because the store manager won't allow enough labor hours to do the job, particularly on Sundays when there's a lot of freight.
