Ok, if you have retail experience but bad if you expect to be trained.

Management trainee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Steady work and good people Benefits are ok, but med insurance is through Blue Cross Rhode Island. They are considered an out of state provider so a lot of charges are not covered.

Cons

The training program is online based so don't expect to get too much help from your store manager or training manager because they are swamped too. You need retail experience if you are going to excel here.

A good high school/beginners job...

Head cashier, photo expert

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Understanding towards school hours, good clean environment, good learning experience, will hire unexperienced workers.

Cons

No benefits, management can be inconsiderate and slave drivers. Being a Head Cashier is the worst though cause the people below you expect them to hold their hand through everything while the people above you expect you to do all their work. Really not a good long term job but acceptable for a first time job. Raises are TERRIBLE. They can only give you a very small percentage as a raise which equates to pennies somethings, seriously. I was there for over 3 years and still making in the lower 8$ range
