Pros

Staff was nice, time off requests were generally granted as long as it wasn’t a black out date or a major holiday, slow paced, not much stress, diverse staff and clientele

Cons

Management was very cliquey and definitely had favorites but was nice to everyone, company had unrealistic expectations for management, pay was super low for key holders- closing and opening the whole store and managing employees is worth more than $1 above minimum wage.
