Pros

Getting to work with incredible people. The discount is fantastic. That's basically it.

Cons

Corporate has no idea what they are doing. They expect so much from the staff that it is ridiculous. There is no training for anyone in this company so basically you're hired and expected to just know what is happening. Also there is serious favoritism in this company. The hard workers are unacknowledged while the teacher's pet receive all the glory. Recently we lost an amazing assistant manager who was making positive changes to the store, raising moral even. Instead this manager was let go because they weren't with the company long enough. They kept incompetent managers who don't care about the employee at all! We are expected to do all the work while these lazy managers remain in the office chatting. There needs to be more knowledge of the management staff that is being promoted and hired! Makes it hard to want to go into work everyday.

Pros

Staff was friendly and willing to help through the hiring and training process, and tasks were shared evenly

Cons

Management implements rules that harm the flow of sales and make for terrible checkout lines. Scheduling was always done last minute and it was impossible have a stable work schedule due to last minute changes and no stable scheduling duties for managers
