Great Place to work!

Pros

Great place to work, overall. Customers were almost always polite, and running the register made the time fly by.( 5 hours went by in like 30 minutes!)

Cons

Did not get to hardly ever use the restroom. And when I did try to hurry and go to the restroom, I always had at least 1 customer or more waiting on me, when I got back. And I always hurried, and was back in less than 2 minutes! And the lines rarely ever ended!

Pros

Has a great system that if followed makes the job easy. Pay is competitive for the area. Weekly pay is always a bonus. Can earn up to 5K in bonuses a year.

Cons

Payroll hours are low. While associate pay is fair, you can not keep good employees at 15 hours a week.
