Pros

There's not too many pros except that you meet and get to know some great people

Cons

Everything! Upper management needs to listen to the staff, they are overworked, tired of being talked to with disrespect from other staff members and managers and nothing is done about it, and underpayed. If you do your job you don't get noticed because there are so many bad people that they overtake all of the attention There is no follow through or really and policy and procedures. Staff can be late consistently, no call/no show, clock in and walk out into the mall or to the movies and nothing will happen to them. It is hard for managers to be able to handle these situations because they have no support from P&c who just sits in their nice chairs and gossips and drinks their coffee all day. The store is a joke and a downgrade if you want to further yourself in retail. You will learn nothing here. They hire and kee anyone and everyone, people with experience, no experience, rude attitudes, racists, people who will threaten others or actually fight others in the store

Pros

You get lots of PTO up front as a part timer and can gain flex hours overtime. Get a 50 cent raise every six months.

Cons

Was told during onboarding that if a Christian comes into the store spreading the gospel, I have to kick them out. This includes the mention of the Jesus without the church invite. Managers claim its rude and if a customer does it, they get booted. Faced harassment from a customer and management didn't let me switch too a different department. Extremely high turnover rate and managers don't replace them, making your job more stressful during peak hours. Hard to use PTO. Little to no training. Too many bachelor and master holding part timers who get lucked out of moving up in the company. Managers give some people no task while pilling on multiple tasks on one person. Too many managers to deal with (and usually never find) and the full timers make you do the dirty work while they "unpack boxes". Its a pro-LGBT anti christian company. If they want to be pro-LGBT, than more power to them. But anti-Christian is discriminatory and unnecessary.
