Pros

If you really work hard and you try your best everyday, management will recognize your efforts and will give you a hand in growing up and learning new things. I'm working as sales assistant since more than 1 year. At first it was though. Now I'm fine. It's hard work and if you are proactive you won't have a single boring day! Never had a problem with colleagues or managers. It's a great place where to work. I think it's a good first job. We can work in team of being independent. Basically you feel very free to manage your time and organize yourself.

Cons

If you don't like a fast paced environment you won't last 1 day working in a busy store. Customers are very rude sometimes. Sometimes I would need more time to do a better job.

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.
