Pros

Discount was good and you can combine coupons with your discount. The management attempts to motivate their employees. Willing to work with your schedule (sometimes).

Cons

Supervisors play favorites. No room for advancement unless you're a favorite. Hard and smart workers are overlooked! Work on almost all holidays - as this is retail. Low pay, no raises, no benefits.

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.
