Pros

The store location was recently updated which made it look fresh. The employees were easy going and enjoyed talking to each other to make time pass easier. Most of the managers were also really easy going and friendly. My manager worked with my schedule and would give me appropriate hours.

Cons

The extended store closing hours were questionable. The store closed two hours after the mall and clean up lasted two to three hours due to not having enough employees during the evening. Everyone was told that 'everyone would leave at the same time at closing' but it rarely happened. If you had to close a register, you usually walked into a dark parking lot late at night by yourself.

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.
