Pros

-Decent starting pay (giving it two stars instead of one for this reason alone) -PPTO is nice -Coworkers are fine, made a few friends (my location at least)

Cons

-HORRIBLE Members, cry at least once a shift. I’ve been assaulted and harassed at previous jobs but NOTHING is compared to these demon-spawn members. - Constant numbers pushing. If you’re not making good numbers (credit card, Plus upgrade, scan and go) they’re pulling you into the office to nag you about numbers and cut your hours big time. -No work/life balance. Didn’t even know that was possible with only part time but yeah they somehow make it near impossible. They change your hours at the last minute even if you’d scheduled your week around it, deny PTO like CRAZY, and they denied me unpaid time off for my birthday (I put it in three weeks in advance).
