Business Outlook

Pros

Busy place to work at because it makes the time go by fast, friendly customers and some employees

Cons

One of the managers stole my commission from me, some of the employees treated me with no respect, and the hours were not enough to live off of.

Pros

One of the best part-time jobs I've ever had. Store Manager in my store is outstanding and sets such a positive atmosphere with his consistent expectations and no favoritism, also one of the funniest guys you'd ever meet. He takes the time to role-play with associates to help us gain additional earnings with protection plan spiffs

Cons

Too much is being asked of us to work late after hours (midnight to 6 am) with no additional compensation as other companies in the area do.
