Pros

Good for uni student has the roster is quite flexible. Good to get some income while you are looking for a better job.

Cons

No direct instruction of what to do around the shop, you will expect to get yelled at from the managers if they think you've done wrong. The managers do not communicate with staffs and expect you to know what they want you to do. Too many managers and it's really hard to follow who wants what. Don't turn up late, even though 1 min can get you into deep trouble.

Pros

Pay wasn't too terribly bad, make around $14 an hr. Management can be hit or miss depending on who you get, colleagues will likely be early 20's if you're the same age

Cons

My location had lower hours Hard to move up, only one other position which was keyholder/assistant manager

Pros

Good hours (While I was there) Flexible schedule Nice pay

Cons

A lot of decisions were made not by management, but by higher ups at the company. Our stock was also decided on by some sort of computer algorithm, so we’d often have stuff in the back we couldn’t put on shelves without stuffing them. Overall, I think I got out just in time because former coworkers told me the hours got so bad that people were forced to go on food stamps.
