      Good Part Time Job

      Pros

      I enjoyed my time here. I worked about 15-20 hours a week. It's very relaxed. Excellent employee discount. Cool coworkers. I got to be involved with my areas of interests. Managers cared about employees. Opportunities for advancement.

      Cons

      It's retail, so you have to deal with some real losers. Other than that no real complaints. I guess pay was a little on the low side, but I wasn't looking to support a family or anything, so no big deal.

      Pros

      The benefits are great. It's easy to change your work availability. They will give you time off when you ask for it. The other employees are nice people that are fun to work with.

      Cons

      There aren't too many. You have to work either an opening or a closing shift one day a week. There is a lot of pressure to sell memberships. You usually have to work holidays.
