Pros

Easy Going enviroment, Friendly Staff. Potential to go from associate to part-time manager pretty quickly. Entry level job good for people looking for a first job or first management position, or re-entering the workforce from a gap year.

Cons

Low hours. Low pay. Part-Time management is the highest position you can get, unless you want to be a store manager. No benefits. Sells barely any women's and children's items, it's mostly a store tailored for men. Gun department is intimidating, especially when customers handle knives in front of you.

Not great

Pros

if your lucky enough to have good employees it can have its moments but...

Cons

Hours are all over the place and upper management doesn't promote based off merit, practically no raises, you feel like you are not real management... your a regular employee but with keys and you risk fighting the bums outside daily. no seriously, not exaggerating, i have been attacked 4 times and once seriously, why? because they were stealing and were asked to leave, had a lady S*** on the floor out of defiance (guess who cleans that up) and almost every time i told upper management or requested a security service i was scoffed at.... just dont do it unless its your only option or you enjoy the thrill of fighting bums
