Pros

Employee discount is ok, though you cant shop your home store.

Cons

ZERO work-life balance as they keep salaried employees as late as they please and then continue on endless text chains about work at all hours of life. Never get to do the job you're hired to do as every day youre doing the jobs of every one else who called out/didnt show/was fired or whatever that days disaster was. And the main job was to micromanage an entire crew of employees who didn't want to be there to hit arbitrary quotas. Constant talk of a 6 day work week. Store hours that change with little notice. Went home frustrated every day.

Pros

I get paid consistently. I don't have to stress about restraining people or raising my voice. My clients are friendly.

Cons

The pay is that good. I have to travel to NYC every day.

Pros

Work fulfilling both physically and socially, dealing with donors and fellow employees for this retiree and former legal and business professional.

Cons

Creepy, clannish, petty, and cultish management is more interested in humiliating others under the guise of "following rules" many of their own making than in ensuring that the work facility is properly equipped to handle daily workflow. Communication nonexistent. Managers pop in and out, apparently stationed at some secret location.  Robotic replies to legitimate work questions when they weren't out-and-out nasty.  I've occasionally dealt with this sort of folks, but never an entire collection of them cheering each other on as might appear in some deleted scene from "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." Poisonous and bizarre. Recommended only for the Abnormal Psychology student.
