Pros

Literally nothing, you feel horrible working here.

Cons

Treated with no respect. They pick their favourites and if you are not one of them you will get no hours or very little hours. If you get hired for store set up, do not expect to be still working for the company once the stall opens. They give no hours out to roughly half the people who were apart of stall set up. Stall set up is very tiring and physically and emotionally draining. No to little training. Expected to know everything. Higher management is very rude and can sexist towards women. Shocking when it comes to work health and safety. no feedback on how you are doing until they give you no hours and then tell you, you have a poor performance. Yet won`t explain what you have done wrong or how to improve. They (the higher ups) barely speak to some of the workers so you don't know if you are doing the right thing or not. So poorly managed. the list goes on and on.

Pros

Pay wasn't too terribly bad, make around $14 an hr. Management can be hit or miss depending on who you get, colleagues will likely be early 20's if you're the same age

Cons

My location had lower hours Hard to move up, only one other position which was keyholder/assistant manager

Pros

Good hours (While I was there) Flexible schedule Nice pay

Cons

A lot of decisions were made not by management, but by higher ups at the company. Our stock was also decided on by some sort of computer algorithm, so we’d often have stuff in the back we couldn’t put on shelves without stuffing them. Overall, I think I got out just in time because former coworkers told me the hours got so bad that people were forced to go on food stamps.
