Pros

Great environment and people hours are going to be there no matter what shape the business is in. Friendly coworkers and supervisors

Cons

Cheap doesn't pay good for the work you do. The raises they always give an excuse for why they can't give you a better one. Even though they don't cut hours they will do wage freezes without notice. Basically make up rules as they go if it isn't the exact way they want they will fire you. Just a cheap company that refuses to pay the employees good money for the work performed you can perform at top level and get only a .30-.50¢ raise every 6 months. People have been there over 10yrs barely making $19/hr. Benefits suck was paying $70 a week for insurance at new job pay $70 a month. And when the company is in bad shape they don't give you holiday pay if you work that day only straight time.

Pros

Good salary for retail, coworkers nice, discount is generous.

Cons

Part timers are rarely considered for open FT positions. Favoritism abounds. If the management team does not care for you, then they barely speak to you. Schedules vary wildly from week to week. Experienced senior PT staff have left in droves this past year and when it happens management lets them go instead of finding out why. Management is never transferred out of the store so the same useless pair have been in place for years.PT benefits poor.
