      Pros

      Honestly, this is a great first job. I started as associate and worked my way up to ASM (I only left because the pay was abysmal). Great people! Loved my coworkers and customers- 0 complaints there. It's a fairly simple job with simple tasks- lots of monotonous busywork, but that's how any retail job is in my experience.

      Cons

      THE PAY!!! Sales associates made minimum wage, and management made just a bit more in my experience. Not liveable at all unfortunately.

      Pros

      I loved my co workers, my GM was such an incredible girl for fixing everything wrong with the place before she started. She always keeps in contact and always makes the effort to lead and help us when needed

      Pros

      Unstressful by retail standards, with mostly flexible and understanding managers.

      Cons

      District manager quality was poor. Poor hours. Opportunities for growth are not based on existing experience.
