Pros

People are fairly nice and understanding.

Cons

A 20 minute break is allocated only if you work 7 hours or more, completely ridiculous and unethical as we are on our feet the entire time. Shop needs to employ more people, takes two hours to clean up after closing time, which is an hour more than shift states.

Pros

- managers were one of the bests. In previous jobs, managers liked to walk around and look important. Here, they actually work alongside other associates. - very flexible; even if it's pretty last minute, managers will change your schedule without complaint - one hour breaks if scheduled for a 7-9 hour shift - lots of room for growth - fairly easy going as a whole

Cons

- work you like dogs - underpaid - high turnover rate - constantly understaffed - one hour breaks are great, but maybe give us an additional paid 15 or something if you're going to work us so hard - your discount sucks - returns, exchanges, cancel receipts, etc. all have to be approved by a manager or a "signer" and I think that's just so unnecessary. We have to wait for you guys to come or give us approval and I think it would be a lot more efficient if you just trained cashiers so that the line up/transactions can move way more quickly and smoothly
