Pros

Love my fellow employees, and love doing the job that I do

Cons

upper Managment is hectic and a bit unfeeling. They treat employees severely unfair. especially the hard workers, You can work your ass off while someone else sits reading or listening to music, yet get paid the same or even less than that person. There is no personal or performance feedback, and very little motivation on the part of management, I know some of them went to business school but i highly doubt any of the managers had any kind of managment training.

Pros

If you like working early morning hours and getting off early in the afternoon (which I do) this is a great part-time job. I was a college student when I worked here so it worked perfectly with my schedule. The pay is pretty decent and the people you work with are friendly.

Cons

Only real downside is that it's retail. You're going to run into some rude customers from time to time. There's always work to do and not enough time given to do it sometimes. But as long as you work hard and managers see that you're trying your best there isn't too much pressure put on you.
