Pros

Great co workers, decent discount, some visual freedom , cute product

Cons

Micromanaging Psychotic regional and district managers, overworked and under appreciated BMRs, qualified ABMs being passed over bc the DM and RM play favorites. Being told that a good manager works at least 45 hours a week( with no additional incentive) but then scolded when you are burnt out bc you have to work 60 hours to cover shifts bc hours were cut yet again in the highest volume store!! Name dropping corporate climbing manipulators get ahead instead of people with integrity and Skills. Being ripped apart at every visit even when you followed directives down to the smallest detail. Company keeps expanding but does not nurture the stores and staff that helped the growth. Terrible pay for the hours worked and horrific treatment by leadership !!

Pros

I loved the flexibility of my boss scheduling me according to free time with my college work.

Cons

I felt like it was a very serious job and sometime my boss would make me go up to guests and keep askign them questions right when they walk in the door.
