Pros

- discount, especially the double discount every three months. - sometimes you get to snag the new stuff before other people. - my store in particular is good with time off.

Cons

- rude impatient customers. - understaffed, we usually only have one main cashier with one backup. - UNDERPAID. heavily. got started at 11, been here for over a year and now make 11.26. ridiculous. - cleaning up after grown adults is tiring after awhile. people don’t know how to put things back or put clothes back on the hanger/off the floor. - mentally exhausting dealing with disrespect from customers, especially when you’re barely getting paid minimum wage.

Pros

All of my coworkers were wonderful. No high school drama. Boss was flexible and understanding, although he always liked it if you said you could work more hours. The employee discount is pretty awesome. The work wasn't bad and rude customers were rare.

Cons

There was pressure to come in even when you were sick. Pay wasn't the greatest; it usually stayed ahead of minimum wage, but by no means kept up with inflation. Visits from corporate often meant a new change in procedures that had been working and demands that were somewhat unreasonable given the constraints of the layout or number of employees available.
