"Good product, iffy practices"
StarStarStarStarStarI worked at Family Christian Stores full-time
Pros
The product was good, and appropriate to the concept of the store.
Cons
The company condoned some shady practices to achieve certain required metrics (i.e., provoking guilt trips to sponsor children overseas). The company is now defunct, so that just goes to show you.....

Pros
You could sit down if no one needed help. Easy to do homework. Good discount which included sale items which made for cheap Christmas presents.
Cons
They told you that iDisciple %100 went to help these underprivileged kids and blah blah blah. Found out later that not even half did and refused to lie for them. Eventually they stopped scheduling me. Didn't even have the decency to let me know I was fired (which I technically wasn't. I was still on the schedule and just never got hours). Scheduled me for days I had asked off for months in advance as I was going on a mission trip. Called and demanded I come in after I told them I was in Minnesota. Many problems.
Advice to Management
You are, supposably, a Christian company. There is no need to lie. And if you don't want to give someone hours, just fire them! Some people need to know sooner rather than later that they need another job. College isn't cheap.
