Pros

- Wear whatever you want - Flexible hours - Great Discount

Cons

- Conflict of Interest, I noticed people that were besties with management would get promoted over people with seniority and good work ethic - Always hiring new employees vs. investing hours and coaching into employees with seniority - Management Clique, I would notice that the managers would wander to a corner of the store to talk and I would over hear gossip walking by while working and some were “besties”. - Performance Bias, I noticed other employees that constantly wanted to work were favored more hours despite other employees that had second jobs or school wouldn’t get scheduled for weeks at a time despite having a good work ethic. I feel this was in favor of KPI goals.

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

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