Pros

Great peers, close to home, and charitable work.

Cons

Does anyone see what I see? Every time there is a string of critical reviews, the corporate hacks then produce a string of positive reviews. If not from corporate, then the pressure people in the field to produce positive reviews. They have been doing this for years in order to manipulate the company ratings. How about instead of looking to manipulate the ratings, you take the feedback and make meaningful changes to how you operate. Did someone say targeting? If the name wasn't already taken, the appropriate name for them would be Target. I have had exposure tow the RDs in R1 and R2, both are all about themselves, openly target DTL's and STL's that don't kiss up to them, and they are killing the business because they have no knowledge of the business. This is a compliance or else atmosphere. If you can act like a human bobble head doll, check your integrity at the door, and kiss up.....this is a great place for you. If not, keep on moving and donlt let them con you into joining.

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
