Pros

They offer flexible hours and tuition reimbursement. It's a great place for Students to work while in school because the managers are very flexible with allowing time off for school events and the pay is excellent compared to other retail stores. Cashiers start out as $8.00 p/hr and you are given a min. of 25 cent raises.

Cons

Not a place to make a career because you are required to work any hours and long days. If you are salaried, the long hours may not be worth the pay and stress of dealing with the retail environment. If you are hourly, you are NOT allowed to work overtime, no matter what, which is a downside if you need more money then you are making.

Pros

There were no pros at all.

Cons

My experience at the Frisco location was largely negative due to the store leadership team, headed by Stacie Sorenson. I found the management approach to be unsupportive and at times created a stressful work environment. I often felt singled out and treated differently because of my background and appearance, which made me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome during my internship. Pay was not competitive compared to similar employers. Scheduling was often inconsistent and difficult to plan around. In my experience, HR tended to support store leadership rather than adequately addressing employee concerns. The quality of the internship experience varies greatly depending on the store and management team. There can be resentment from some employees toward interns, particularly from those who were interested in the program but were not selected. Communication, mentorship, and support were not at the level I expected from a company that promotes its internship program so heavily.
