Pros

I am starting out at this new store in Sarasota Florida. So far the training has been exceptional. Management does a good job of instilling excitement so we can give all our dedication to our job. Also they are very passionate about customer experience and the do a good job of imparting this passion. They are all about you.

Cons

I haven't worked there long enough to gather up any complaint. So far so good, I've had a good experience so far. I have only worked there for 5 days setting up a new store.

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
