Pros

Employee Discount and the team I work with

Cons

New positions mean doing the work of 2 or 3 people and not getting a raise for it. Trying to keep up with the insane amount of freight (most of which we don't need), run a department, and be pulled to run a register and cover service desk is completely ridiculous. You are putting a lot of added pressure on the few employees which actually show up everyday. It would be nice if the front end had its own set of people so that floor people could focus on what needs to be done instead of being pulled in 5 different directions.

Pros

You don't experience many of the retail horror stories you would at larger chains. Management was reasonably flexible with scheduling and always took our side during customer disputes. 30% discount nice bonus too (40% on some days)

Cons

None that I can think of

Pros

it is a decent overall gap job, you will be doing every role in the store and if it is dead you will be expected to multitask up front.

Cons

some of the management could be harsh on employees
