I loved my co workers, my GM was such an incredible girl for fixing everything wrong with the place before she started. She always keeps in contact and always makes the effort to lead and help us when needed

Pros

has good discount. cool coworkers. cool clothes.

Cons

Terrible pay it’s the most minimum wage ever. Last minute changes to schedule by manager with no consideration of people’s schedules outside of work. Expects the absolute most for little pay. Have to tell people about surveys constantly. Store is incredibly small and leaves no room for shipment boxes nor room on sales floor for items.
