Pros

So many books to peruse and so many great people to share your interests with. Decent benefits, at the time even offering health benefits and profit share bonuses to part-time as well as full-time employees.

Cons

The district and regional management, as I think with most people in these positions, are often out of touch. There is not enough clear communication between levels of the organization/management. As with all retail, low pay for the amount of abuse and effort asked.

Pros

Great training/onboarding. Helpful coworker. Overall a fairly stress-free place to work.

Cons

No split shifts at my location which was difficult but doable as a college student in terms of scheduling.
