Pros

great discount, 50% off everything, I love skating so it is great to work around that culture.

Cons

People are saying they didn't get enough hours, but they fluctuate from week to week, ultimately comes down to sock sales, the more overpriced socks you push onto the customer, and the more frequently you meet your sales goals you get more hours.

Loved it, but it's not well-paying.

Pros

Amazing discounts on about everything. They also start you off with a free pair of shoes and a shirt. The environment is so fun and friendly.

Cons

Not a lot of work time and my pay wasn't wonderful. Usually, most of my hours went to "on-call" times that are required to be left open in your schedule but are usually not used.
