Pros

Solid path, fair pay and benefits, decent work hours (no 55-60 hr weeks here), Smaller store sizes keep work environment more easy going.

Cons

Vision needs to modernize for company going forward. For part-timers, need more modern and consistant uniform (polo shirts perhaps) instead of shirt/tie for guys and no real guideline for girls. Also Product range needs to be a little wider, with a greater price range, instead of 5 of the same product by different brands but all the same price (they are all the same in the end). And needs a much better website to assist shoppers.

Pros

Most employees were really fun to work with, life/work balance was great, taught me good life skills, good first job for work experience.

Cons

Barely got scheduled (pretty sure my location was way over employed), occasional rude and entitled costumers (especially during the holidays), could get very slow and boring at times, sketchy area, overal, not a great job if you're looking for something that pays well.
