Pros

Very flexible for working around a changing schedule, or college classes. Management is friendly and easy to talk to. Sometimes is exciting, it's retail. Getting time off is rarely a problem.

Cons

Corporate makes decisions that make no sense at the store level. Management has no real hiring process, so poor employees are often hired. Incredibly boring when management doesn't assign projects. Pay is incredibly low, not a living wage.

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.
