Pros

stores are relatively clean and the co workers are capable of doing the duties

Cons

consistent errors in pay, inconsistent stock and floor coverage. Management sets unrealistic sales goals and then expects associates to exceed them and those who don't tend to get their working hours cut to 5 a week
