Pros

Their were some many nice people there....mostly from other departments and I believe probably because there wasn't a fear of losing there job with workers from other departments.

Cons

Bad Management....or should I say Upper Management wasn't doing their job in obtaining quality Managers and/or keeping tabs on them. Nothing positive came out of my Managers mouth. The department moral was always very vegative as a result. Everyone in the department disliked this particular Manager but Upper Management just continued to look the other way and instead let the subordinates suffer, stress, and eventually burn out. Both Management and Upper Managemet would sacrifice the subordinates, and lie right in front of them, in order to save their behind. There was no decency in this department. Scare tactics were being used in that everyone in the department was in constant fear of losing their job. Co-Workers did not trust each other as a result of this and there was always an uneasiness within the department. It was not an evironment where you could maximize your abilities and potential nor could you feel comfortable knowing that your co-workers had your back.

Pros

All of my coworkers were wonderful. No high school drama. Boss was flexible and understanding, although he always liked it if you said you could work more hours. The employee discount is pretty awesome. The work wasn't bad and rude customers were rare.

Cons

There was pressure to come in even when you were sick. Pay wasn't the greatest; it usually stayed ahead of minimum wage, but by no means kept up with inflation. Visits from corporate often meant a new change in procedures that had been working and demands that were somewhat unreasonable given the constraints of the layout or number of employees available.
