Pros

-All my coworkers are incredible and are what keep me going. We all basically live together since we're at work all the time. -I get scheduled a lot of hours and have enough money to pay my bills. -We earn store-wide commission which can add up to $250 extra on my check. -Hour long lunch (much needed). -Uniform is provided. Note: I do however, still recommend this job to someone in desperate need of a job. They hire almost anyone, on the spot pretty much. You WILL get hours, and you WILL be able to pay your bills. However, unless the job really does fit your mold don't plan on being there long-term.

Cons

-I have no life outside of work. I'm at work 45 hours a week, and usually scheduled in the center of the day. (Also take in consideration the time and energy put into getting ready for/transporting to and from work.) Therefore, I don't exactly have time to run errands in the morning or go out at night. -I work 40 hours a week and am still considered "part-time" because I haven't been "promoted yet". Stupid. This is so they don't have to give me benefits. I was sick with a highly contagious virus and was even hospitalized but didn't qualify for sick pay because of this. But of course I need the hours to pay my bills. So, I'm stuck since complaining about this will result in my hours being cut (which I can't afford). -Rude and entitled customers. I've had lots of jobs, but wow. I've seen a lot of very sad, poorly raised, ill mannered, overly privileged, and undeserving people in this establishment. Note: I do however, still recommend this job to someone in desperate need of a job. They hire almost anyone, on the spot pretty much. You WILL get hours, and you WILL be able to pay your bills. However, unless the job really does fit your mold don't plan on being there long-term.

Pros

The coworkers are the best. This is for the North Star location

Cons

Management. There is clearly favoritism. They don't want to help, they will yell at you and ask why aren't you moving fast enough. The GM doesn't do anything. Her only job is to "talk to the higher ups." She will yell at you if you speak Spanish and say English only. If you ever had an interview here some of you were judge by the way you looked. Quote from one of the managers "I didn't like the way they looked." Also, it's a problem when you talk to your coworkers when it slow.
