Pros

Great Advancement, Promotions actually seems to be done on merit system. Pay is decent, definitely good for retail industry.

Cons

Managers, especially EXA's, are worked like dogs. 6 day weeks are extremely common (unpaid overtime because were salaried), which really is not fair considering the education requirements and compensation. work life balance is essentially non-existent.

Work with your schedule if you are in school.

Low pay. I need to be able to multitask, run the cash register, and operate the Photo Booth lab at a fast pace.

pay was decent I guess

Cons

no promotions, no good management, a lot of people in positions that do absolutely nothing, very cliquey, constant checking in 1:1's, no growth in your career, favoritism, toxic environment.
