The people are really nice and interesting. There is a great community feel. The benefits are really good as well, even for lower level people.

Cons

There is not much room for growth and often the hours you are given to work change week to week.

Pros

Ability to move up and branch out. There's room for creativity depending on the location you work at. Lots of opportunity to develop.

Cons

Growth of new locations being hindered by electronic market. The store hours are very late, which depending on the location, isn't conducive to attracting foot traffic.
