Pros

Great discount, flexible schedule for part timers & tuition reimbursement for full timers

Cons

Managers don't care about employees, every man for himself type of mentality. You can be infected with pink eye or have the flu & they will hassle you about being sick & have to come into work or you get into trouble. No sense of rewarding employees who consistently go above and beyond their roles for the business. Very unprofessional in sense of pay. Annual raises that are nothing & not based off of your own work but off of the business. You can hit goals & go beyond but if everyone isn't doing the same you too must suffer because of them.

Pros

Flexible hours, employee perks such as discounted products, offers 401(k) despite being part-time, coworkers who are nice to work with.

Cons

Management is quick to call-out sales that have nothing attached to it (warranties, card applications, memberships, or accessories). There is a rodent problem that has not been addressed for nearly a year; food and beverages cannot be sold at this store.
