Pros

Working at the Northbrook location provides a great team and flexibility. Most roles to obtain are part-time and still provide benefits like health insurance.

Cons

The company itself has been going through quite a few changes even in the time I've been there, the current leads in the company are straight forward though messages received about company changes are not always transparent to the team members at the store level. I learned about our 2025 bankruptcy and 2026 BB&B "merger" through customer questions.
