Pros

Pay is not great but ok most of the staff is friendly

Cons

Managers walk around like they are gods including district managers. Too few employees to handle store at busiest times. Managers openly call you names and make you feel as if your not doing your job meanwhile they are just walking around doing nothing or in the office sitting down talking on cell phones or to each other like no work needs to be done No real training is given the only training really given to employees is either thru a video or by another employee when they are allowed to help management never helps new employees. Most of the time your just thrown in a told to deal with it
