Pros

There are friendly and really skilled and talented coworkers here.

Cons

Yes, there are a lot of talented employees here but often are overworked and overused but unappreciated and undercompensated. There's clearly a shortage pf staff here because they usually ask us to cover for urgent projects which were outside of your job scope but we couldn't do anything about it. The management doesn't even care if we have already worked too much for the day. They would just ask you to to another thing without regard to your health and personal time.

Pros

The team itself was solid, and the store's a genuinely nice place to work day-to-day.

Cons

The compensation is just not aligned with what you're actually doing. You're running a shift, working register, dealing with customers, training people, managing closings - and all of it's on a cashier's wage. I actually did the math once and it came out to about $17/hour when you factor in everything. The store charges premium prices and does well financially, but shift leads don't see any of that reflected in their pay. That gap is unsustainable, and it's exactly why I left.
