Pros

With good management, it can be a fun place to work.

Cons

The corporation cut part time staff shifts from 4 hours a day to 3. Also, during the holiday season, I have been told that as many as 80 people have been hired to work in one store, though whether or not that is true, I don't know. There were strange limits to how many hours part time staff can work per week, and the corporation seemed to encourage stores to have a high number of staff to spread across a relatively low number of hours on the payroll.

Pros

It's a good national company. I worked there for 8 years and loved it. The peopld that I worked with were great. There was a lot of flexabilty in hours and what stores you could work at. The discounts at the sister stores were helpful for the holidays. They were always trying now ideas and products to keep people coming back.

Cons

It was sometimes hard to explain to customers why the item they liked was now gone. They shold have downsized products rather than just take them away. but I do understand their attemp to keep up with the times

Pros

good discount, great product, competetive salary, stores a generally located in a desireable place to work, great benefits and you can make some wonderful friends.

Cons

long hours, high turnover, too few payroll hours, working frequently by yourself for 4+ hours at a time, don't trust you enough to make a decision without your DM's input. If you are going to pay someone more than the average store manager salary, then let them make a decision. These are not idiots that are store managers but hard working and a lot of self-supporting people.
