Pros

Good pay for retail, great benefits, scheduling is sometimes accommodating depending on who is writing it, most people are fun to work with.

Cons

Company has the audacity to pride itself with 7 core values that it completely does not uphold integrity being #1. Managers play favorites, some are infamous for being sexual harrasers but have managed to work multiple stores, reviews are a joke you can be the best there is but if 1 out of many managers does not like you, you will be screwed. Most Mates (management) are under qualified and haven't got a clue but rest assured they will be overpaid for what a blind disabled monkey can do 10x better.

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
