Pros

can be fun and nice people- some very nice store management.

Cons

the very nice store management has very little power to make things better for you besides listening...and it is impossible to live on the salary for what is demanded of you.

Business Outlook

Pros

Loved the people I worked with. Had some great customers who I knew well. Free drinks while working and good discount, especially during holidays.

Cons

Takes forever to get raises and they maxed me out. Wouldn't give me the hours I needed. Corporate doesn't do anything! Our tips were stolen a few times.
