Pros

Pros, flex PTO, good pay, and decent hours

Cons

Toxic team members, you're not supposed to talk about religion or politics, but this was discussed weekly. No training provided. No room to grow. Company is a joke and everything is expensive. They wonder why they can't get more sales. You're better off going to Home Goods.

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.
