Pros

- cool products - fun and chill workplace (our location had lower traffic, so it was slow sometimes) - good training - able to quickly get the hang of working there - able to learn more for potential growth - nice discounts - somewhat flexible schedule - overall an amazing and coolest part-time job i've ever had! made some connections with great coworkers and really enjoyed working there even through challenges

Cons

- schedule was flexible at first, but started to not stay that way due to layoffs - layoffs made coverage more difficult if needed - heard that the store location i worked at was getting more strict with the rules and training
