Pros

Management is very thoughtful and gives time off when needed. If you do a good job praise and promotions are easy to get. Management (at least at my store) was caring and willing to help in any way they could. Other employees made the job fun. Management was fun and approachable.

Cons

Never busy...could sometimes get very boring. We never had more than 2-3 customers in the store at a time and VERY often went hours with no customers at all. I had a number of full 6 hour shifts with no customers. The back room was VERY dirty and slightly unsafe for employees. Some shoes in the back were on the top shelf and there was no ladder available that could reach them...you had to climb the shelves.

Pros

Most employees were really fun to work with, life/work balance was great, taught me good life skills, good first job for work experience.

Cons

Barely got scheduled (pretty sure my location was way over employed), occasional rude and entitled costumers (especially during the holidays), could get very slow and boring at times, sketchy area, overal, not a great job if you're looking for something that pays well.
