Pros

Main pros was night crew was kept small so lots of hours were available.

Cons

Cons were politics and lack of upward progression, real disconnect felt on nights from people on days and hard to talk to management about complains you'd have on nights because they aren't there to oversee or enforce things.

Pros

Gorgeous store, clean, well-organized, many good people

Cons

Training is rushed and not very thorough, some people in management positions are unpleasant and tend toward bullying, union mentality prevails - people may not be willing to assist because it's "not my job," lots of manufactured drama!
