Pros
It is a fast paced retail environment, constantly changing with the seasons. Our customers are generally friendly, and are shopping for their pleasure, not because they have to, which makes them a little easier to please. The stores are not difficult to operate, and the groundwork has been laid out clearly as to how to perform each job function within the stores. If you are a full time associate, the benefits are comparable to other retailers. There are benefits available to part time as well. It is generally a fun atmosphere, though working hard is necessesary most of the time.
Cons
For someone just off the street, the best you could hope for is a minimum wage, less than 20 hours a week, 'job'. As to working in any store, the way your store operates is still largely influenced by your store manager, and thusly, the district manager. If they, as a team, are truly engaged in the corporate direction, the stores run well. If either fails to live up to their part, the store suffers as a result, as do the employees. Sadly, I have seen this in my district as well as others in the company. Long hours to pick up the slack by management is common.
