Pros

Good discount, good coworkers, helping customers is rewarding and helps time fly by.

Cons

No breaks unless you work over 8 hours and even then - you may be asked to skip your break. Work part timers 37-38 hours to avoid giving out health benefits. Set unrealistic goals and tell you every time you work that you aren't at your goal and you need to do better. Talked down to as if you are incompetent by certain managers - others are better.

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.
