Pros

Discount (if you can figure out all the exceptions to it) are about the only thing. There are some good associates, but most people leave because of treatment

Cons

Scheduling (even when they make mistakes they won't fix it; lean of crazy rule that you must find your own replacement) Management is disrespectful to employees and micromanages Communication is almost nonexistent for employees Training is inconsistent or crammed into 2 or 3 hours on one day with no way to remember what your being shown Just a horrible place

Pros

Staff was friendly and willing to help through the hiring and training process, and tasks were shared evenly

Cons

Management implements rules that harm the flow of sales and make for terrible checkout lines. Scheduling was always done last minute and it was impossible have a stable work schedule due to last minute changes and no stable scheduling duties for managers
