Far from boring retail

Pros

I love coming to work. The job is always fun and I keep busy so the day goes by quickly. I love the music i get to listen to while working. The job never gets boring. The pay and benefits are okay but not exactly competitive to other companies in my area. I have learned a lot since I started working here and the schedules are flexible. The H.O. staff has always been very helpful.

Cons

Lack of promotions available for talent in my area. I have stayed because I love what I do.

Pros

Discount. That's really all I can say. I got a yoga mat for something like $4? And before I got fired I had the chance to stock up for college.

Cons

I worked here for four months and heard through the grapevine that we had been overhired. When I was let go, I was told it was because I "wasn't catching on." I was often the only associate working, usually closing, and I often had to work until 11:30 (not 10 as my schedule said) without actually being given a break to eat. A few times I was on call for opening and called when I was supposed to but no one picked up because no one was even at the store till I was scheduled to work (I actually went and showed up and was then told I was not needed). There were a few weeks when I was graduating high school that I had requested some days off, and for those days I was only scheduled for the exact times I had requested off... was supposed to work my own graduation. Schedules were put up on a really inconsistent basis.
