Pros

Very clean place, easier to straighten up than when working with clothing items. Sampling duty can be fun if you like people :) it's okay to have a drink on the shelf near the employee entrance. Overall a nice place to work.

Cons

Some managers are pickier than others about the "sampling" script. It's not a very busy store except at Christmas time, so they really push interaction with customers, which gets irritating for both you and the customer. There is only so much small talk a person can make. Only a 30 minute lunch as a break time which is hard sometimes if you need to pick up food, it's a very busy retail area. Make sure you get there a minute early, they will write you up after clocking in late 3 times.

Easy, laid-back environment. Decent work-life balance. Overtime during the seasonal month.

Lackluster management, lack of communication between departments and shifts. Not much overtime throughout the year.
