Pros

Great with giving time off when needed. I am a college student and 75% of their employees are students. I believe they know that college students want to go home for holidays and give them the time off for it.

Cons

Pay is minimum wage. Since I am a student, this is just extra cash in my pocket so I would not want to rely on this income for a living. Management does not give clear direction in what you should be doing. For one year, I clocked in and did things that I "thought" should be done. I had no supervisor giving me higher priorities. I am excellent working without a supervisor, but when you work part time you are not up to date on the day to day activities to prioritize your duties.

Pros

Pay is very good once you start getting raises. Weekly pay

Cons

Genuinely everything else, the pay is that high because they have to pay you over 25 just to put up with the awful environment. terrible structure, terrible management, no accountability, cliquey mean girl environment. managers are allowed to sit around and do essentially nothing while supervisors carry 100% of the load and there is no checks and balances to ensure management does the right thing. Corporate and HR genuinely don't care if certain people sit on their butt While others keep the business running. Credit card pushing is absolutely Off the Wall insane. Getting enough credit cards is all the company cares about and managers do not help. Managers are allowed to have no history with getting any credit cards at all and corporate doesn't bat an eye. If you try to speak out about anything that's going on you'll just get fired. Retaliation is allowed and encouraged.
