Pros

Decent pay....about it. There is nothing rewarding.

Cons

Not enough space to write everything. No care for work life balance. Told in an interview that I would work 45-47 hours a week an many weeks it is 6 days a week. You are lucky if it is only 50 hours in a week. You are a glorified baby sitter for worthless associates. Store managers are praised for acting like dictators an have no tact when talking to management or store associates.

Pros

• Generally work with fantastic people. • Work is not difficult, and time flies when busy. • My bosses collaborated with me to create a schedule that worked, as I often had other commitments. • Overall, a pleasant work experience most days. Get good at what you do and you'll do fine.

Cons

• Some of the senior management was less friendly than others - as to be expected. • Days were very volatile; some could be extremely easy, and others could be a nightmare. • Scheduling was kept rather limited; although I was able to get the hours I wanted, often times management would look to cut hours from departments whenever possible, leaving less support.
