Pros

I enjoy learning from my co-workers. They're helpful for the most part.

Cons

Managers aren't very available. Also, there's a lot of work to be done on the sales floor but there's no time to get it done because you're constantly called to the counter because there's not enough staff. All the stress for little pay isn't worth it.

Pros

They go above and beyond on training and making sure the customer is first!

Cons

For one team stores the pay is less than desirable. You work twice as hard for not as much pay as the regular stores.

Pros

The pros are great coworker, reasonable hours and a great location. I was given the tools to do my job well and had great managerial support overall.

Cons

Its an old boys club. Its hard to get promoted even when doing great work and receiving praise. I left because there wasnt a midlevel position above mine. I would have had the same job forever.
