Pros

- Good discount that pairs well the frequent coupons to get you some great deals. - Friendly, helpful managers at the Sioux City store :) Quick to respond when called. - Walkies are available at each register to give you somewhere to turn whenever you need to ask quick questions, etc. - Your work schedule is available 24/7 online, and you can easily view your paystubs and request days off online too. - The way they have us request change and close the registers is very organized compared to my jobs in the past and best of all, you don't get pressured if the money is off at the end of the day. Not that this has happened to me more than once or twice, but they understand that it's often not your fault and they move on. - Lastly, the team here really works hard to make the holidays festive and cheery with decorations and (if we're lucky) free treats and meals :)

Cons

The expectations for getting customers to apply for the credit cards... it's really a bit much. Also, if you work until closing (9pm at my store), then you won't have an actual set time to go home. You will have to stay and clean up until the managers decide the store looks good. Sometimes this takes an hour or more if the store was busy that day, but most of the time it's only about 30-40 minutes (which is ok).

Pros

If you like working early morning hours and getting off early in the afternoon (which I do) this is a great part-time job. I was a college student when I worked here so it worked perfectly with my schedule. The pay is pretty decent and the people you work with are friendly.

Cons

Only real downside is that it's retail. You're going to run into some rude customers from time to time. There's always work to do and not enough time given to do it sometimes. But as long as you work hard and managers see that you're trying your best there isn't too much pressure put on you.
