Pros
Great discount, pretty flexible hours. The discount makes the annoying environment somewhat worth it because it’s that good.
Cons
Environment at each store really dependent on the management, you are fully at the whim of your store’s leaders. Hours availability fluctuates tremendously where you are wanted to work a lot one week and then once over the next 2 weeks. Being promoting is not dependent on your sales or performance at the store but on whether the managers like you or not. Can be a lot of drama and gossiping beyond a normal amount.
