Pros

It's a job in the tough economic climate of 2008

Cons

I think they hold some people back while pushing lessor people forward. You've heard the slogan "Right store, Right Price" but the unspoken one is "Right place, right time" I have seen people with years of loyalty be turned down for jobs that they were born to be in (and they have the education for it). I've seen people who've been with the company for 6 months or less get promoted without any experience needed. Also, they don't pay people what they're worth. The only way to make money is to be a Unit Manger...but some people's skill sets are different and shouldn't other people make good money in the positions they're in. They don't give enough kudos to justify the small amount of pay. And how about a raise that is at least that of the rate of inflation?

Pros

• Generally work with fantastic people. • Work is not difficult, and time flies when busy. • My bosses collaborated with me to create a schedule that worked, as I often had other commitments. • Overall, a pleasant work experience most days. Get good at what you do and you'll do fine.

Cons

• Some of the senior management was less friendly than others - as to be expected. • Days were very volatile; some could be extremely easy, and others could be a nightmare. • Scheduling was kept rather limited; although I was able to get the hours I wanted, often times management would look to cut hours from departments whenever possible, leaving less support.
