Pros

It's just like working with friends everyday and then getting paid to talk to customer and keep the store tidy. It's not stressful. It's very pleasant. The management is so nice and flexible, always trying to accommodate your needs. Amazing pro deals, discounts and other staff perks. Just so fun!

Cons

You will be spending a lot of your pay check there due to great staff discount. Also, no career opportunities in Canada.
