Great people and managers, poor company policy

Business Outlook

Pros

Co-workers are generally some great people, the managers I've seen have always been shown to care even when they have twenty more important things to do, they've set aside time for me and co-workers no matter what.

Cons

Some extremely rude customers, but that goes for every retail outlet. They are extremely strict over hours and even cut short several people who are part time but bust their ass making departments look great.
