Pros

Interesting co workers. Some days interesting customers. The sales incentives are good. The 40%discount is great...but only if you are still living at moms house and or you work for a hobby.

Cons

The company has put profits before its people...specifically sales associates and floor leads. Being unappreciated by upper/district management. Unrealistic daily goals. STOP with the "you get a raise if you make your monthly (inflated) goal." Stop squeezing every cost saving onto staff...expecting more with less while giving the store away to crazy customers with senseless coupons, comps and outrageous abusive returns. A surefire way to make you lose faith in humanity and morale-fast.

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
