Pros

Fair pay and benefits, fun environment, opportunity for advancement

Cons

Irregular schedules, poor work/life balance The company claims they put the needs of employees first, yet they rely on computer programs for scheduling, which makes schedules and hours incredibly inconsistent for associates. The store manager can make or break your experience, as many tend to show favoritism. High turnover for supervisors/management.
