Pros

Good employee discounts Floor employees are super nice and easy to talk to Hires relatively young people starting off in retail

Cons

Management is always changing and there are very few people that can manage the schedules correctly. When someone starts working there, there are so many people that don't know about new hires that they mistake them for customers and become rude and even sometimes refuse to believe they're employees. When it came down to family emergencies and religious events they will not schedule around it
