Pros

Attractive store layout Relaxing breakroom Hour lunch break if working a full shift Reasonably priced fashion (even with no discount)

Cons

PNC is extremely disorganized, unhelpful, and seems to be out of touch with the demands of the store. Constantly dealing with staffing issues. Asks for feedback and ways to make things better but no matter how many suggestions you make there are very few if any changes made. When changes are made they are poorly communicated to the staff. Very poor training methods put in place (random new hires just show up and are dumped off on supervisors without any notice) Upper management support of staff is inconsistent when it comes to store policy and communicating that policy to the customer. Upper management can be condescending and unfriendly when approached so beware!

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.
