Pros

Great if in your 20's fresh out of college and looking for management training.

Cons

Pay is not very good for senior management. 5+ years in any other retail management would be above 50,000 a year.

Pros

Most employees were really fun to work with, life/work balance was great, taught me good life skills, good first job for work experience.

Cons

Barely got scheduled (pretty sure my location was way over employed), occasional rude and entitled costumers (especially during the holidays), could get very slow and boring at times, sketchy area, overal, not a great job if you're looking for something that pays well.
