Pros

The team is mostly great! There are a lot of opportunities, especially now because a lot of staff is leaving.

Cons

Upper management has high expectations but doesn't give you the tools to succeed. We need more hours and people to help customers and keep you happy! You need to realize your attitude rolls down hill. Regional manager is disrespectful to district manager, dm is disrespectful to gm and store staff, store staff is unhappy and this results in customers being unhappy. Taking away hours hurts everyone and the tasks will not do themselves! It is a very stressful environment and management seems to only talk about what we could be doing better, not where we have improved.

Pros

If you like working early morning hours and getting off early in the afternoon (which I do) this is a great part-time job. I was a college student when I worked here so it worked perfectly with my schedule. The pay is pretty decent and the people you work with are friendly.

Cons

Only real downside is that it's retail. You're going to run into some rude customers from time to time. There's always work to do and not enough time given to do it sometimes. But as long as you work hard and managers see that you're trying your best there isn't too much pressure put on you.
