Pros

Great group of people to work with, layout of store makes it very easy to find/stock product. Store Manager, Rosie at Old Orchard is GREAT to work for. She is flexible, easy to talk to and always willing to help you.

Cons

Scheduling shifts can be challenging as they want you to work as many hours as you can. Some team leads have a slight power trip going on.

Pros

Great people to work with; great perks; flexible scheduling; fun job

Cons

Corporate flyer doesn't adequately describe physical portion of job. Not just repetitive, but constant movement (hunching over sink, lifting heavy stuff above you, squatting to lift heavy stuff; standing for more than 3 hours, bending your back, reaching, etc). You do get a 15 min break, and 2 of them and a 30 min break if more than 4.5 hour shifts, but still can be difficult. *Be physically fit and have flexibility in the upper back, back, and hips especially. Invest in shoes meant for standing for long periods of time.* If you've worked in a kitchen before, then you know, but if the only kitchen you've worked at is at home, that's actually much more relaxed. Just an FYI, evening shifts can run late, usually until 1030, but can run past 1130 depending on the class and who you are working with. Pay felt low, but pay feels low at every job out there with today's rent. Better as supplementary income. Sometimes, feels like others are allowed to relax more than others. Parking!!!!!
