Pros

They are not there any more... :(

Cons

schedule, schedule, schedule... suddenly it all changed... we couldn't offer the things we used to. Our benefits went awry, so did our annual salary increases... name it... it all changed this year! It was not the company I helped build.

Pros

TCS is a middling to fair place to work for a short time, if you need some extra money, it won't be much extra money but a bit.

Cons

The work is physically VERY demanding, not enough breaks are given. Great disparity between hourly wages for the same job (minority workers get paid significantly less.) Buying into health insurance is offered to part-timers but the insurance is very limited and has a shockingly low cap on annual and lifetime $. An oppressive "corporate culture" is imposed (which is mocked privately by most employees) and there is a lot of pressure to join in in daily cheers and "celebrations". There are no bonuses ever, no profit-sharing and no monetary incentive to constantly produce more.

Pros

You get a great 40% discount. The people that work there are usually very fun. The pay is decent. They have many different shifts available.

Cons

They expect ALOT out of you as a PT employee. They expect extreme flexibility in your availability. As with most retail, you are expected to work weekends. Their benefits package for PT employees is completely employee paid.
