Pros

My co-workers were nice. I love working in the children's section it was very organized and recovery wasn't that hard.

Cons

My manager tried kicking my friends out even they just wanted to buy something. They kept us back 1-2 hours after closing to recover the whole store, that's pretty standard but I don't like staying longer than I have to. The only way to get home before 11 pm or 12 am is to be a high school student. they can't keep you after 10 pm if you're a minor.

Pros

If you like working early morning hours and getting off early in the afternoon (which I do) this is a great part-time job. I was a college student when I worked here so it worked perfectly with my schedule. The pay is pretty decent and the people you work with are friendly.

Cons

Only real downside is that it's retail. You're going to run into some rude customers from time to time. There's always work to do and not enough time given to do it sometimes. But as long as you work hard and managers see that you're trying your best there isn't too much pressure put on you.
