Pros

Discount and benefits for part time associates. Core benefits include Dental with Aetna vision with VSP legal life hospital accident critical illness with AFLAC and 401k 5% match dollar for dollar. Pretty good for a part time.

Cons

Turnover. Late night closing. Recovery team needed. Associates would perform better if they weren't burnt out. People should not be kept past their scheduled time without giving the option to stay. One should not be held hostage because the store was busy.

Pros

If you like working early morning hours and getting off early in the afternoon (which I do) this is a great part-time job. I was a college student when I worked here so it worked perfectly with my schedule. The pay is pretty decent and the people you work with are friendly.

Cons

Only real downside is that it's retail. You're going to run into some rude customers from time to time. There's always work to do and not enough time given to do it sometimes. But as long as you work hard and managers see that you're trying your best there isn't too much pressure put on you.
