      Pros

      Decent hourly rate. Decent benefits.

      Cons

      I live in a University town. They cut every single employee's hours in the summer time when the students leave. They do this to employees who have worked for the company for ten plus years without caring if they can get by or not. The first captain I worked under was an absolute psycho path. Not exaggerating. It took the company over two years of receiving employee complaints to get rid of him. We had a rash of injuries this summer because our crew members were spread so thin and expected to get the work of two people done.

      Pros

      -Great way to meet people, socialize, and learn customer service -Always tasked with different things every hour -Friendly crew who will always help you to learn and get better at your job -Get a slight pay raise every 6 months -No outside commitments and amazing benefits if you work full time (about 28 hours a week for every 6 months) -Will take time, but find your friend group, stay with them and have fun, you can't please everybody -Care for your body, do not overdo it with physical labor, its a retail job and you only have one fragile body for yourself, get help or insist about your pains

      Cons

      -Not many, unless you are stuck in a bad store with bad management -I had some good luck of working in 3 great stores, so YMMV -Sometimes can get cliquey like you are back in high school -Getting promoted up to store management may involve buttering up and being a "yes-person" -Care for your body, do not overdo it with physical labor, its a retail job and you only have one fragile body for yourself, get help or insist about your pains
