Pros

Knowing the best deals in the store because of advance notice on sales. Coworkers were all very nice-no complaints there.

Cons

Management and upper management treat employees like crap and try to force people who have been with the company and who earn higher salaries out the door. Hours get cut all the time. They call people off one hour before they are supposed to be at work, Minimal training for new employees. They want an entire staff of part-time employees who get scheduled 4-8 hours a week so that people are starving for hours and will come in last minute when they are busy or have a call-off. Stores are all filthy and bathrooms are a health hazard. Stores are run with bare boned staff and customers yell at the few employees they see that there is no help on the floor and nobody to answer questions. If managers make their payroll they see huge bonuses, Unless you are hired as upper management I advise to STAY AS FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
