      Pros

      The company is growing right now and there is opportunity for advancement. I started as a cashier less than one year ago and now i am assistant manager.

      Cons

      The pay scale needs to be adjusted. The company expects a lot from you for minimum wage and only being allowed 20-25 hours a week for a cashier. That is not enough money to live off of. If you are not a key holder you have to be part time and have open availability. Makes it hard to plan anything when you are working 3 or 4 hours 7 days a week with a constantly changing schedule.

      Pros

      There are no pros for working for this company. The store manager promotes Key holders within 2 wks of being hired. So theres no training and she rehires employee whom she has fired for theft. If your not kin too her in some way, you wont be there long. In the 7 mos ive been there we have around 10 or more employees come and go.

      Cons

      The pay is low and the hours that schedule you for isnt enough to live on. Thats why there is a revolving door. If your not kin to store manager you get no perks.
