If you’re really competent it’s fine, anything less and get your head bitten off

Pros

Nice lunch options if you want to eat at the food court.

Cons

Manager constantly chews out her employees. High standards, and gets very angry when they aren’t fulfilled. Will chew you out with unrealistic expectations, have seen it happen to several coworkers in the few weeks I worked there. Rest of the staff is fine. Stocking isn’t much of a social experience which is to be expected. Lots of products to learn, the instructions for learning them are quite worthless so you’ll just have to suck at it and get railed by the manager for a few weeks, or you can spend unpaid hours trying to catch up.
