      Pros

      great benefits including paid time off, pension plan, health, vision, dental, AND counseling if needed. We get an employee discount. Product samplings - this includes wine, beer, and food tastings. Great co-workers (usually). Schedule flexibility. And decent pay (for entry level position in retail industry)

      Cons

      very typical of the industry and needed, but they move full-time and management around a lot. You have a great manager, then all of the sudden you have a new manager who is the complete opposite and doesn't fit with the store "personality". Going from a manager who gives praise and compliments all around to a manager who micro-manages and doles out critiques for every little tried and tested method can be a bit bothersome.

      Pros

      there is a friendly atmosphere, and when you tell someone you work there they get excited and tell you their favorite product. time needed off is just a simple request, and if it is not do-able they help you find other employees that can help you with your shift needs.the employees are willing to help each other out, like a family. the raises are fair, and higher than most other companies. and most of the full timers are willing to listen to you, when there is a problem.

      Cons

      there are times that the full timers are not on the same page. i think our meetings help with that. although we have been known for our fun atmosphere, our meetings could use more structure and less games.

      Pros

      Money is good, if you work hard. Great insurance, discount. It really is a fun place to work.In a whole pretty much everyone gets alone well.

      Cons

      If management was on the same page all the time! When you have 8 to 10 managers in 1 store I think it's too hard for them to keep up with each other and what is going on in their store.
