Pros

Coworkers were awesome, very diverse. Lots of team effort. Considering such awful Management, employees were pretty cool and down to earth.

Cons

Having to digest corporates racist and discriminating perspective when approaching consumers was absolutely sickening. "If Juan and Maria walk in our store, we know they don't have that much money to spend.." "If Jill and mike walk in our store we need to up sell on all our products because we know they can afford it.." Bunch of b.s. And those ridiculous store meetings that would feed us all that crap, can u say BRAINWASHING!!! Ugh....

Pros

Flexible hours, employee perks such as discounted products, offers 401(k) despite being part-time, coworkers who are nice to work with.

Cons

Management is quick to call-out sales that have nothing attached to it (warranties, card applications, memberships, or accessories). There is a rodent problem that has not been addressed for nearly a year; food and beverages cannot be sold at this store.
