Pros

I believe in the store....what they have to offer the customer, the deals, the savings, the products. People are so happy, excited, and thrilled to have us hear in Austin. It's exciting to be part of that.

Cons

Since the store opened in Oct. we have had a complete management turn over. All three of our original managers/asst. managers have left. The manager leaving even before they had someone to replace him. You are expected to do quiet a few different jobs depending on how many people are scheduled...which seems to be never enough. Always cutting back on hours and then never having enough people to work. And after my last review I was hopeful to get decent raise, I got a good review but was shocked at a lousey .19 cent raise. They do not value there employees on any level.

Pros

it is a job if you desperately need one

Cons

management does not keep promises (e.g. I was promised $2 higher pay upon accepting the position and later was told it wasn't feasible anymore once starting. I was also promised a specific day off then last minute had it revoked because they decided to make it a mandatory day). management does not listen to or care about its employees, very unprofessional. store managers don't want to do anything to help, they just sit in the office. management let other employees slack off and do nothing and expected others to compensate for their lack of effort general manager was horribly rude and misogynistic. he threw a box at someone while visiting.
