Nice family atmosphere, not a real stressful job, when it’s slow at the store in the middle of the shift they will let you talk some

Won’t promote if you’re going to school and is very stingy with full-time I have worked there for 6 years (since I was 16) and I’m only making under $10 an hour and still part time
