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.
