Pros

Co-workers are nice, 25% staff discount.

Cons

Strongly advise to never apply here. I was hired just to set up the shop before it opened and then myself and others were fired after a week with no notice. They had us doing manual labour for hours with no training in the middle of summer which was not mentioned at any point in the hiring process. You're expected to do excessive amounts of work for minimum wage and management constantly threatens you with failing your probationary period so everyone is afraid to call in sick. All of this said by the same manager that came into the store on opening day hungover and left a few hours in!!!

Pros

It's fun to see what inventory we'll get, and it's fun product to sell. Coworkers are great to be around.

Cons

Upper management is horrible. 3 months into the store manager being fired, with no new SM in sight. When higher-ups come in to help, they are hard to communicate with, often giving off a harsh attitude. They will say everything that is wrong with the store with no positives. We were told to fill a particular IP because it was light when we had no inventory to fill it with, which they must have missed during their visit. The store was once sent so much shipment that we had to fill our bathroom with bags of inventory. The electricity went out once because the bill wasn't paid. Very little training is provided. Management would rather work a skeleton crew into the ground than care about employee turnover.
