Pros

It was pretty laid back and I still learned a lot for future jobs. It was my first job so I was a little lost at first but I adjusted quickly.

Cons

The manager that was moved to our store during the last few months I worked there was quite rude and notunderstanding. I don't think we were treated fairly a lot of the time, but it was mostly tolerable. I had to quit because of school related reasons, but I wasn't too sorry to leave the job behind because I was starting to dislike her. I made minimum wage, but again it was my first job.
