Pros

-Co-Workers are professional and for the most part make the long hours a little more fun. -It is easy to request time off. -You’re able to work as little or as long as you want for the most part. -Customers are pleasant. -Opportunity’s to advance. -Management gives you good feedback during Annual Reviews. -They give you the opportunity to request time off for holidays you don’t want to work. -Time and a half for federal holidays. -Works good with a school schedule. -Good shift options. -The meetings we have provide a since of community.

Cons

-Management is ok. Some of them do have a power trip and make you feel like you’re below them. -The internal job application needs improvement. After applying for 3 jobs, they told me they filled the position before the application close date and even before they completed all the interviews. They also do this for external applications. -The schedule can get messy and there has been incenses where people are scheduled on days they request off. There are isolated incidents and are usually taken care of by management. -The store gets busy. This is a positive and a negative as you can get overwhelmed but you also constantly stay busy. -October through December are very busy months due to holidays. -Hours get low January-March -As a cashier, you have to ask 6 questions to each customer (Greeting,Find Everything alright, personal touch, Visa, Digital receipt). I get the idea behind this however it does get a little excessive.

Pros

You get to try lots of cool new shoes, there is tons of entertaining retail drama, you can make a decent amount of money if you are good at sales (I could easily double my base salary on weekends), and the discount is quite nice. Management usually seems to care a lot for employees, and many are very flexible with scheduling and make it easy to work around other jobs/classes. There is room for progression, and I was offered a higher position, but the salary growth wasn't ideal for me in this economy.

Cons

You are on your feet A LOT - I often walked 30-40k steps a day during the holiday season or Saturdays (with only a 30 min lunch break), and sometimes you get scheduled for multiple weeks with no days off in between. Getting a good manager for your schedule is also important, because some give only a week's notice before putting out the next couple of weeks, which makes it hard to plan things with friends/family. Part time employees also get no benefits, even when I was consistently working 40-50 hours a week for months at a time. Additionally, there are some unscrupulous characters working there, but most have gotten fired.
