Pros

The store I was at was a really enjoyable place to work. Obviously it was tiring and you're on your feet the whole time and cannbe doing repetetive tasks..but that's kind of to be expected. Personally found always being busy good as didn't get too bored.

Cons

Sometimes have to stay 10-15 mine after closing time to carry on tidying store. Times of breaks not always consistent when working 8hr shifts. E.g. may have to take lunch break at 11am for an hour.

Pros

You get lots of PTO up front as a part timer and can gain flex hours overtime. Get a 50 cent raise every six months.

Cons

Was told during onboarding that if a Christian comes into the store spreading the gospel, I have to kick them out. This includes the mention of the Jesus without the church invite. Managers claim its rude and if a customer does it, they get booted. Faced harassment from a customer and management didn't let me switch too a different department. Extremely high turnover rate and managers don't replace them, making your job more stressful during peak hours. Hard to use PTO. Little to no training. Too many bachelor and master holding part timers who get lucked out of moving up in the company. Managers give some people no task while pilling on multiple tasks on one person. Too many managers to deal with (and usually never find) and the full timers make you do the dirty work while they "unpack boxes". Its a pro-LGBT anti christian company. If they want to be pro-LGBT, than more power to them. But anti-Christian is discriminatory and unnecessary.
