Pros

I like the people and the work except after Christmas I was cut to almost zero hours a week. Their online schedule has me working 9 hours a week every other week for 18 hours a month. WHY DONT YOU JUST FIRE ME PLEASE After staying late extra hours when asked and after coming into work on unscheduled days when called to fill in for workers smart enough to call in sick after working so hard at the register I am treated like a mad dog and tossed aside after a single shopping season.

Cons

Maybe this company deserve to out of business after all.
