Pros

the only pro with working here was to play with all the fun smelly stuff..

Cons

1. you get patted down before you leave EVERY day, at the store front so everyone is watching. It makes you feel like you are a criminal even though you are not! 2. very odd shift hours.. (ex: 4:15-8:45) 3. you might be scheduled to leave at 9:00 (or whenever you close), but plan on staying at least two hours after. One time I was there until 1am (yes, 1 in the morning!!!!) my parents had made a run up to the mall so see if my car was there.. they had no clue where I was, since we cannot make phone calls. 4. no break room, or chairs/tables to take a breather and get something to drink.. you couldn't keep a water bottle or anything with you.. i was always completely exhausted. 5. they check up on you like a child, you have to keep a checklist of your progress with customers. 6. I am a small woman, and they had me lifting heavy boxes on ladder in the stock room, it is ridiculous! 7. not willing to work with your life schedule, a computer schedules you, and thats when you work. 8. there are so many employees, one week i only had one 3 hour shift. 9. they have "call-in's". you are not guaranteed the hours you are given, you have to call an hour before you're scheduled to see if they "need" you.

Pros

25% off of product, beautiful atmosphere

Cons

have to hard sell like crazy (to the point that customers are so annoyed by the time they get to the back of the store they leave), having to work in designated "zones", having a customer counter and needing to ensure that 40% of all customers buy something (Or else!!), if youre part time you automatically get 20 hours only (or less which is usually the case), never getting longer than a 4 hour shift(many of these shifts are "on call" meaning you have to wait 2 hrs before your shift and then call in to see if they need you.
