Pros

Good discount on some items. Co-workers are hard working, focused and very nice people who enjoy helping customers.

Cons

No support of employees. No recognition. You are never good enough. There is a terrible lack of organization. Employees are not respected. The micromanagement of everyday operations is frustrating. Not enough staff to run store properly. Filthy, filthy, filthy. Reports, reports and more reports. Too much inventory in a too-small place adds to the disorganization.

Pros

Staff was friendly and willing to help through the hiring and training process, and tasks were shared evenly

Cons

Management implements rules that harm the flow of sales and make for terrible checkout lines. Scheduling was always done last minute and it was impossible have a stable work schedule due to last minute changes and no stable scheduling duties for managers
