Pros

The people, for the most part, were the best part; including the employees and customers.

Cons

Pay is minimum wage. Hours will eventually get cut. Seems to be favoritism in management. Position seems to be stagnant

Pros

If you really work hard and you try your best everyday, management will recognize your efforts and will give you a hand in growing up and learning new things. I'm working as sales assistant since more than 1 year. At first it was though. Now I'm fine. It's hard work and if you are proactive you won't have a single boring day! Never had a problem with colleagues or managers. It's a great place where to work. I think it's a good first job. We can work in team of being independent. Basically you feel very free to manage your time and organize yourself.

Cons

If you don't like a fast paced environment you won't last 1 day working in a busy store. Customers are very rude sometimes. Sometimes I would need more time to do a better job.
