Pros

Being a student in High School, the pay I receive for a part-time job is great compared to other students I know. Also there is always a large number of employees that you get to meet that are around the same age group if not a bit older. The managers for the most part are nice and considerate to their peers and the employees there. The discounts we get are also pretty good.

Cons

When I first started the place looked like a great place to work. However after an amount of time they start hammering you down with more and more responsibilities especially during the holiday season. And at times the managers can get a bit naggy about what you sell and don't sell to customers especially due to the current economic status. Another downfall is that it cuts into your personal life a lot of times since you may work a lot of long shifts.

Pros

Flexible hours, employee perks such as discounted products, offers 401(k) despite being part-time, coworkers who are nice to work with.

Cons

Management is quick to call-out sales that have nothing attached to it (warranties, card applications, memberships, or accessories). There is a rodent problem that has not been addressed for nearly a year; food and beverages cannot be sold at this store.
