Pros

The location of the store is close to my home, so for me travel time is the plus.

Cons

I did not receive an increase in pay for 3 years. I was told that I was maxed out as a team member, so no raise was possible. But this year I received an increase of 18 cents. Also, right after that my hours were cut in half, so I feel that I never finish my work. I feel that I am being rushed, I am told that is is because they do not have hours to give out, not due to my performance. I don't understand how they spend so much on TV and print ads and car races etc., but will not give a cost of living increase to cover the increase they make us pay each year for any health insurance. So, as a result I no longer have health insurance with my employer..

Pros

If you are looking for a job that you’ll be a part of a fun team environment, have the ability to learn all about customer “guest” service, retail operations and sales, as well as merchandising even at entry level great opportunity. for such a large corporation I have been pleasantly surprised by how tight knit teams are. applying was okay, there were multiple steps (videos, assessments) but overall not too bad)., phone call and then video questions before hiring.

Cons

Pay isn’t great, but for the market it’s fair. Moving up involves a much larger increase in responsibilities and workload relative to the pay increase.
