Pros

For a young college student they pay above average at 11 dollars an hour, and they will give you as many hours as you need.

Cons

The management was awful. The manager was rude and condescending. Overly politically charged environment that led to very unprofessional conversations even with customers around. Employees told me that management would be deliberately rude to me as a 'mental test'

Pros

Compared to my prior employer, the workload is much reduced while the pay is a substantial increase. I feel that store and District leadership is a lot more willing to back you up compared to Prior employers I've had, and there is a good amount of freedom to be had. The company is also expanding so the opportunity for growth is also higher than with other Industries right now.

Cons

The company seems to be a bit schizophrenic at the moment when it comes to certain things and operations are suffering to a degree because of it.
