Pros

The best thing is that you get paid every single week. If you are lucky you will have a good store manager.

Cons

The company uses fear of getting fired to motivate you to do a good job and sales they ask for are unreasonable.

Pros

The ONLY positive/pro was the weekly pay.

Cons

The hours were unnecessarily excessive due to employees trying to 'milk the clock'. As a whole, the company affected my morality each day. Management enforces lying to customers about petty things. Training clearly states a zero tolerance for harassment and threats, however that policy was never fulfilled. The company is polluted with negative and untrustworthy individuals. A day of work always consisted of someone lying, cheating, or being disloyal. The managers that represent the company are not good people, which lead me to believe that the company is NO GOOD.
