Pros

I worked there from the time I was 17 until last year. They have always treated me like family. They make sure that employees are recognized for their talents and their dedication. The store manager went out of her way to make sure I transferred to a location closer to the college I was attending. It was one of the best places I ever worked.

Cons

Not many hours available after January. I went from having at least 20 hours down to about 4-5 a week. However, this happens a lot in retail after the peak holiday seasons are over. Other than that I loved working there.

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.
