Pros

employees feel like a family, fast-paced so the days go really fast, customers are appreciative of your help, flexible schedule

Cons

could be better communication between employees and management, was told that full-time positions are hard to come by because of the $10/ hour minimum and that you had to be there three months before you could become full-time, still not sure if I'm going to be full-time or not and will have been there three months in a few weeks, doesn't seem like there is a lot of promotion within

Pros

Pay is great for retail. Closed on Sundays. Great Benefits. Bonuses are nice and it's pretty easy to hit your goal if you put in the work.

Cons

Upper Management creates problems that aren't there. Store Test are a joke...way too much playing favorties. Corporate vistits are almost on a weekly basis.

Pros

WONDERFUL customers (craft people are nice) Lots of skills can be gained Very family-like atmosphere with the first manager of my store--2nd manager, nice, but different employees where hired--so entirely different store.

Cons

Differing managers account for differing store experiences Relatives of current store management can get hired VERY quickly and promoted too (this is only a con if you are not a relative--but it's a wonderful pro/opportunity if you are to show and to learn that you have what it takes to be a manager. IF you can get into management, that's a great learning opp.
