Pros

I loved the Christian music that was played in the store. Also beautiful items all around to remind all about our God. Many very kind and very hard working coworkers. Management tried to schedule employees requesting time off. Sundays off was a fantastic relief to know I could go to my church and worship The Lord.

Cons

No breaks to get even a sip of water or bathroom privileges if any kind of line. Many times I worked 6 hours or more at the register and was denied these simple requests. Register very confusing with out dated equipment so no scanner to ensure correct pricing in all of the products sold. Many times I would have to enter 4 different keys to enter department, category,percentage off, and the seasonal category for each and every item. I believe this is why lines form in the first place. Employees fearful of complaining in any way for job security. Schedule changed weekly. Many times I did not know until a few days before I had to work.

Pros

-I walked in with my application and just stated I was looking for a job. The manager asked me three questions and hired me on the spot. "Come in at 3 tomorrow". I worked for 5 months until I moved to LA and was able to get at the local one there without much ado. It's a Christian environment so the people are really friendly and kind.

Cons

None that I can think of at all!

Pros

The pay is good. You get a choice of apron, vest or polo shirt. Health benefits at 45 days.

Cons

If you want to work in a truly artistic and creative atmosphere, this is NOT the place to work. Ultra conservative, a very un-relaxed atmosphere, and the feeling that you're always on the chopping block. Christian Muzak with very little variety piped in all day long.
