Pros

Crew (employees) are active and cheerful in their work and interactions with customers. Work varies from cashier to stocking to customer interaction to demos. It's fast paced but the day goes fast that way. With good relations with captain and first mate it can go well. Honest company to work for in my experience.

Cons

Depends on the captain and first mate(s) (management) of the store. These folks work long hard hours and therefore often expect the same from team members.

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
