Pros

-Fine people -Good discount -Decent training

Cons

Boring. So boring. Not that there wasn't work to do, Team Leads where constantly running around doing work that only Teams Leads where "allowed" to do, like picking curbside orders. Also as an avid firearms enthusiast and sports admin college kid, where was I placed? Shoe department and dressing room. What did I do to deserve that????
