Pros

Friendly work environment (coworkers), very Lgbtq friendly, store is organized by call numbers, safety is a big concern to management (a good thing)

Cons

Lackluster beginner training, busy and very crowded store, freezing back/stockroom, lack of organization/direction by management, understaffed, pays minimum wage in your state and nothing more, scheduling is not the best, and back room is always overflowing with stock.

Pros

it is a job if you desperately need one

Cons

management does not keep promises (e.g. I was promised $2 higher pay upon accepting the position and later was told it wasn't feasible anymore once starting. I was also promised a specific day off then last minute had it revoked because they decided to make it a mandatory day). management does not listen to or care about its employees, very unprofessional. store managers don't want to do anything to help, they just sit in the office. management let other employees slack off and do nothing and expected others to compensate for their lack of effort general manager was horribly rude and misogynistic. he threw a box at someone while visiting.
