Pros

-The work environment tends to be really relaxed and as long as you show up and help customers your great. -There’s almost no repercussions for bad work ethic. If you get written up, you don’t have to sign it and it literally means nothing anyways. -great with scheduling accommodations, if your a college student they can easily accommodate for specific days and times off

Cons

Literally every store I’ve gone to has consistent staffing issues. Constant call outs and running the store with only two people at a high volume store seems almost illegal but gets taken advantage of constantly. The reason for so many call outs is because they refuse to reward their employees who actually stick around with raises. They will pay you the bare minimum possible. But if your looking for a fairly easy job to secure some extra money, go for it. Just never be afraid to tell them no.
