            Pros

            New products, mixes it up and adds excitement. Learning tools, when sales are slow we are given opportunity to listen to training tapes. Meet lots of people and form friendships within the store.

            Cons

            No health benefits for part time.

                    Pros

                    I was new to Florida when I started working at the South Beach location of CB2, and the staff made me feel welcome and at home in the sunshine state.

                    Cons

                    The location I work at has a very high turnover. Lots of part time employees have to find a second job because of low hourly pay.

                        Pros

                        The 30% off discount is nice and pay isn't bad especially if your in college. They are very flexible with scheduling especially part time.

                        Cons

                        They hire from within, and favoritism may develop between employees and mgmt. Treated as a intern so you will be doing mostly shadowing.

                      What are your thoughts on companies requesting references before scheduling an interview? Recently got a request for an interview but the instructions were to provide 3 references first.

                      If asked what type of management style to you prefer? How do you feel about micromanagement? How do you answer this professionally? Nobody likes micromanagement so why ask? Maybe bc the manager there does?
