Pros

great coworkers flexible prime time schedules

Cons

Low pay. They used to be a leader in the retail world paying higher than most. You can now make the same money or more working at a fast food burger chain. We are in a world wide pandemic, and they are keeping as many stores open as possible, risking exposure to their employees and customers. Corporate has the luxury of working from home and receiving a paycheck. At brick and mortar stores, they have eliminated work for all prime time employees with no emergency pay or regular income at all indefinitely. Full time positions which are few and far between are the only ones still receiving income from the company at this time. The COO states in a letter to the public that employees will be paid if stores close. This is a flat out lie to the people. Very few will actually receive pay.

Pros

Decent pay for the most part

Cons

No raises, no bonuses, as an IC doing every other department is more important. Lots of forced overtime at the last minute.
