Pros

Helping people, great team in HR.

Cons

The promotion of incompetent people into positions with little to no knowledge or training, they play favorites and you either comply or leave..."position elimination" is my favorite!! The best way to describe their business culture is "confused". They will jump into projects without preparation or a clear outcome in mind, ramp up and throw tons of money at a project, only to haphazardly abandon the project before it's completed or tested.

Pros

Maybe the discount? Other than that there is none.

Cons

Every employee is unfriendly. They train horribly. Made me work by myself on the register with no back up and a brief training. Had to respond to to mod pages on the first day by myself while the other manager was on lunch which I had no training for any of there return policy’s or anything yet. They were going to have me work as the only manager closing the following week after I got hired even though I told them I need more time to learn everything. There where many steps to closing, takes almost an hour to do. Also the managers would tell me they have to call the cops constantly on customers. Lots of theft and drugs and crazy situations that go on everyday. Smells horrible in the store as well. I quit my last job without having a new one and they where the first to offer me one so I took it but regretted it right after. It was just miserable, worst job I ever had. Quit and got a way better supervisor job after a couple weeks and so beyond glad I did.

Pros

Easy work and decent pay for starting out.

Cons

Went through 3 General managers, They don't work with students very well without having to constantly remind them of scheduling. Expect you to do your work ontop of everyone elses.
