Pros

Convenient location and usually flexible with hours for school

Cons

No compassion. Lots of behind the back nonsense and other childish issues in the company. Most insane attendance and punctuality rules ever.

Pros

You don't experience many of the retail horror stories you would at larger chains. Management was reasonably flexible with scheduling and always took our side during customer disputes. 30% discount nice bonus too (40% on some days)

Cons

None that I can think of

Pros

it is a decent overall gap job, you will be doing every role in the store and if it is dead you will be expected to multitask up front.

Cons

some of the management could be harsh on employees
