        Pros

        I really enjoyed the large employee discount, and I even got one of my college classes paid for by being an employee there (they had a special program to finance this in place at the time).

        Cons

        Not the highest wages, but that was to be expected.

          Pros

          Some of the best retail memories I've made were at Hot Topic! You have a devoted customer base that you can get to know and grow. When hiring associates you know you're bringing new members to your team that are passionate about music, pop culture, and self expression.

          Cons

          The hours can be long and the payroll can be short. As a manager, I found it disheartening that I could not give my associates the hours they desperately wanted to work.

        Always remember these when interviewing (based on my experience): - You will not be working with the recruiter you talk to - Large companies = chances are good of you not working directly with the mgr/sup who interviews you. - Small companies = chances are you will work closely with the mgr/sup who interviews you. But, chances are good the team you work with is not on this call - In both situations - ask to meet you direct team, if you can, to get a feel for how things are
