Pros

Pay, other employees are nice, managers are decent, discount after 90 days, room for advancement within the company, bonus pay program for sale of certain merchandise, weekly pay, comprehensive 'training while working' program for copy center associates

Cons

Lofty sales goals, too much work and tasks for one person to complete during a single shift, managers can be temperamental, lack of teamwork, low pay for amount of work expected, training is too much to finish, mostly an associate learns the ropes by working and figuring things out for themselves.

Pros

Good to get experience as a first job

Cons

Small store so there's only 4 people working at a time. Gets hectic during busy seasons and the manager typically hides in the backroom.
