Pros

Works with class schedule for the most part, co-workers make it worth it (sometimes), good starting job, decent pay if you stay awhile (+2 years or more). Some Team leaders/ management are somewhat understanding and helpful. If you ask for the hours, you are most likely to get them, but they can overwork you. Ability to transfer if you need to move, they have many locations.

Cons

Management is either too strict or doesn't care, have to work for several years to get even close to decent pay, both customers and leadership do not appreciate you and your hard work, you can get written up/terminated for miniscule things and without warning, moving up in the company involves moving up into jobs that do not include much better pay but much more stress, management does not help team members (maybe rarely). You also don't learn anything to prepare you for other postions/jobs, no formal training if there is any training.

Pros

Direct coworkers were great to work with. I also enjoyed being left to do my work and not babysat by management.

Cons

Management doesn't know what they are doing. Resets and floor plans were regularly not done properly. The store I worked at has a skeleton crew so I never got help (but was expected to stop everything I'm going to go help other departments/areas). Also meaning good luck to any customers needing help, especially when I was the only person working my area of the store, so when I wasn't there, no one was. Management also regularly disappeared into the offices or were on vacation. Also was terminated for reasons outside my control even though I was told they look at the reasons for attendance incidents before termination. Never got to get the FMLA or accommodation to my doctors before being terminated two days after I requested them. Didn't bother asking for a raise either. I did multiple times and got nothing.
