Pros

- Fun first job - Flexible This job was a great first experience which offered me the ability to gain customer service experience while still in high school.

Cons

It is very hard to advance in this company or receive pay increases. A lot of turnover with the employees because of this.

Good Discount, Bad Management

Pros

Good Discount (50% for everyone / 70% for employee of the month) Flexible Scheduling. They work around my other work schedules. Cool atmosphere. I'm not one who enjoys dressing up in a shirt and tie, so this job is perfect. I can wear tees, sweatshirts, jeans, shorts, etc. Customers can be cool people to interact with.

Cons

Underpaid and overworked. No benefits for Supervisors or Associates, only available for Store Manager and Assistant Manager. Management is unorganized. Schedule is not consistent and employees are not always reliable. Management changes the schedule last minute during the current work week and doesn't inform you that it has been updated. Due to this I have had multiple employees miss shifts because they did not know they were scheduled and made other plans for the day.
