Pros

Great discount, useful products, decent pay for retail work, great people, pretty good training for product knowledge, and flexible schedules

Cons

Corporate rules can be a pain, LOTS of inventory with little space for it, often understaffed on busy days, too few hours per week, blackout dates during Thanksgiving - Christmas, and stringent time-off request policy year-round

Pros

Staff was friendly and willing to help through the hiring and training process, and tasks were shared evenly

Cons

Management implements rules that harm the flow of sales and make for terrible checkout lines. Scheduling was always done last minute and it was impossible have a stable work schedule due to last minute changes and no stable scheduling duties for managers
