Pros

It's a nice store. The products are nice and the work isn't bad while you're there--that is if you don't mind being there all the time.

Cons

They called me in almost every day when I wasn't scheduled and screamed at me if I couldn't come in. I was demoted and received a $2 pay cut for missing one day of work. I have been forced to work 12 hour days while other employees skipped work multiple times and each once a day because that's all I can afford on their pay and they only give breaks often enough and long enough to stay within legal regulations. I called in sick once and my manager came into the other store I work at, during my shift, while I was helping customers and yelled at me publicly, saying that I should really learn to take my job seriously and that I might as well just quit now. So I did. I worked there for over a year. Earthbound has absolutely no respect for its employees.

The store is in the mall so there are the drawbacks of that.

Pros

Fun. easy going retail environment

Cons

The company hired me to move from one city to another 2 hours away and then closed the location they hired me to work at 5 months after hiring me. I found out later this had to have been in the works all along and it was not communicated to me that this was to be the case. I left a job I had had for 7 years to move to a new city for a fresh start only to shortly after have a piece of that start removed by a company with no compassion. They then offered me a lesser position at another location where the pay wasn't even the least bit comparable. This truly could have been a lovely position where it not for all that got in the way.
