Pros

Nice place to work if you don't mind dealing with all sorts of customers. Employee discounts are nice if you enjoy spending your measly paycheck on the over priced products. My coworkers are really nice but don't seem interested in working there. very few are interested in career advancement as they use the place as a stepping stone for better jobs elsewhere.

Cons

Not enough product training and opportunities for advancement can be skittish. For example I wanted to advance to an assistant manager position but was told that I do not qualify and of course was passed over by someone else who was new and did not have any managerial experience.

Pros

Flexible hours, employee perks such as discounted products, offers 401(k) despite being part-time, coworkers who are nice to work with.

Cons

Management is quick to call-out sales that have nothing attached to it (warranties, card applications, memberships, or accessories). There is a rodent problem that has not been addressed for nearly a year; food and beverages cannot be sold at this store.
