Pros

- Accommodating to requesting time off - Other employees were generally - Easy

Cons

- Minimum Wage Pay (I guess that is to expected in retail) - Having to wear a shirt and tie seems like overkill for a job like this. - The products here are subpar. I wouldn't buy anything here except for shoes. - No incentive to go above and beyond. Employees that slack off get the same raise as the ones running the store.

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.
