Pros

The pay isn't bad for retail work. There are many friendly people who work there and it does seem like a 'team' environment. willing to work around schedule for students and part time workers

Cons

The scheduling is horrednous at times. Often close the store and open up the next day. the General Office spys on the stores to make sure everyone is following the rules. often work consists of stocking and cleaning up aisles. Everyday feels like a repeat of the last, very little time for personal down time due to the always watching the clock. The pay and the hours are not competitive for college grads,

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.
