Pros

Above market pay, lots of holidays and wellness days off. Flexibility on schedules. Good training materials and coursework.

Cons

Constant restructuring and layoffs. Work keeps getting added to everyone’s plate without additional pay. You’ll work late nights just to catch up only to realize you’ll never be caught up. Long term employees are condescending and expect you to know everything right off the back. Work environment depends on your manager, some are good but most act like it’s a high fashion environment.

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.
