Pros

The pay is pretty good for a starting retail position

Cons

Extremely understaffed. Instead of putting in a more honest effort to hire more people, management instead demands the current employees to overwork themselves. Essentially you aren't allowed to have fun. If they see you talking or enjoying yourself they will make sure that happens less. Stockroom is hazardous and unsafe. No space to work often and employees are expected to complete unrealistic tasks.

Pros

The coworkers are the best. This is for the North Star location

Cons

Management. There is clearly favoritism. They don't want to help, they will yell at you and ask why aren't you moving fast enough. The GM doesn't do anything. Her only job is to "talk to the higher ups." She will yell at you if you speak Spanish and say English only. If you ever had an interview here some of you were judge by the way you looked. Quote from one of the managers "I didn't like the way they looked." Also, it's a problem when you talk to your coworkers when it slow.
