Pros

I enjoy my job, my duties and my coworkers. Its a high paced, fun place to work. I really enjoy working with the public.

Cons

Part time employees don't get enough hours. On average I'm scheduled 13-15 hours per week and have to volunteer on my days off to get extra hours. Corporate only allows part time employees to have no more than 24.50 hours per week, but our new store manager has cut part timers back even more only allowing us to have 20-22 hours a week max(if we are lucky). Usually we get scheduled several short shifts a week 4 or 5 hours a day when scheduled. 30-40 hours for a 2 week pay check at $9.00/hr is hardly enough for a single person to make it on. Most of us are trying to support a family of 3,4,5 or more and its just not enough.

Pros

Pay is decent. Bonus structure is decent. Hybrid model. Summer Friday's through summer. Student of the business model. A lot of learning and grow your own opportunities. Care for your success in your role. Many opportunities to grow with the company, you just need to be out spoken and put yourself out there. Casual dress.

Cons

Busy work. Depending on the area you get assigned to work load and flexibility can vary. Favoritism. Can be a high stress environment. Certain areas do not believe in work life balance. Management love to micromanage and listen to themselves talk. Many meetings. Meetings that can be emails are your day in and day out. The actual office space is dated. In the heart of DTLA, very unsafe surroundings. Advised by management to not walk around outside of the building.
