Pros

· wonderful co-workers, I've made so many good friends there. · I think this differs within each store, but I really love my managers. · the music playlist is awesome. They have a lot of good bands in the roster.

Cons

· no benefits. and 10% employee discount is just sad. · no set hours. they'll dock your hours without warning, too. · horrible pay for the physical labor you're put through; the pay is good if you're a student who just needs some extra spending money. Not good for paying rent and bills. Just in general, the pay isn't worth it. · some of the visual merchandisers like to boss around the sales associates. they are technically above us, but they're ultimately not managers. It bugs the crap out of me. · if corporate visits the next day, forget about getting home at a reasonable hour if you're working the closing shift.

Pros

You have AN income, probably better for high schoolers who needs some cash. I never thought I'd be coming back to the retail industry but the economy IS that hard to tackle.

Cons

-10 min breaks (and 30 min lunch are nothing) -lack of comm btw management and associates (they expect to you know everything without tell it to you, terrible training process because you don't know the company nor do they care that you don't) -easily get written up (ex: can't take your lunches late and you better log all detectors going off and you can't +/-$1 if you're a cashier) -they're on your case about everything (ex: sell, don't talk, move around)
