Pros

Relatively easy for a retail job. Hours are limited by state regulation, so you don't have to worry about working late nights or Sundays.

Cons

Terrible communication from upper management. Very inconsistent direction from district management on up. As a store manager, you are given very little information about detailed financials of your own store, let alone the company. This makes it difficult to improve specific areas beyond your best guess. And so whatever owner or manager walks into your store just makes up some opinion based on very little factual information. The company is also very prone to cronyism.

Pros

Laid back chill environment, awesome co workers and nice managers. Employee discount is nice but not great. Job isn’t too laborious and pretty easy if you have good work ethic

Cons

No raises, no proper training, no overtime, only 4 Saturdays a year off, no sitting even if it’s at a computer, flaky co workers who never show up or always call out, high turnover rate
