Pros

Multiple career path opportunities; 100+ year old company is willing to innovate in order to be relevant in market place.

Cons

The company has great training tools and programs but training in general is not prioritized to make sure associates are effectively onboarded and trained. Payroll and training time is minimal for new hires.

Pros

If you like working early morning hours and getting off early in the afternoon (which I do) this is a great part-time job. I was a college student when I worked here so it worked perfectly with my schedule. The pay is pretty decent and the people you work with are friendly.

Cons

Only real downside is that it's retail. You're going to run into some rude customers from time to time. There's always work to do and not enough time given to do it sometimes. But as long as you work hard and managers see that you're trying your best there isn't too much pressure put on you.
