Not what it used to be. Kingswood Capital Management has ruined it.
Pros
Flexible schedule, excellent management and co-workers.
Cons
Unable to deal with rampant shoplifting due to corporate inaction, constant price increases felt like greed and quickly became unaffordable even when taking employee discount into consideration (and also made customers very unhappy, note that they took out the "Cost Plus" name), pushing a discount with a credit card signup felt predatory, pay raise period would happen a month before minimum wage increase kicked in, ensuring one would always be making minimum wage, merchandise has shifted away from cool world items and has dropped substantially in quality, becoming more or less household items without international flair, or are dropship. Christmas is being pushed as early as summer.
