Pros

Hire anyone really so you have a good chance of being hired Some of my friends work here

Cons

They hire anyone really so some people are very bad at their jobs, but they tell everyone they are bad at their jobs to make them work harder. Antisocial behavior from some employees Customers treat the place like a human zoo It’s hard to focus because a lot of people mess things up both customers and employees. Idk I just need a job where it’s not so boring and I am not bothered. Just punch in and punch out.

Pros

it is a decent overall gap job, you will be doing every role in the store and if it is dead you will be expected to multitask up front.

Cons

some of the management could be harsh on employees
