Pros

Slow paced work as a sales associate. Moments where you have to meet customer demands is pretty easy. Flexible scheduling

Cons

Non progressive company. While they have been lax on dresscode, they still dont allow a variety of people with body modifications and dyed hair to work here. They claim its because of "military standards" but your work is comparable to any other retail chain. My location is always shortstaffed and your work load is always more than what you're payed. Raises are cents on dollars for "exceptional work" and theres little room in the company to improve unless you're one of the few that get promoted before they hire someone else for more experience. Will make you question your life decisions working here as they never take employee advice and criticism.

Pros

- Job itself is quite easy - Don't have to deal with full public - Health benefits are nice - Get access to tax free product. - Very generous time off/sick time compared to other companies

Cons

- Management can be difficult to work with and seems inexperience in the technology that the workers are using to do their jobs. - registers, scanner guns, payroll software, store technology in general feels very outdated by todays standers and make it difficult to do my job. -Taking time off is difficult because of how poor management is with operating payroll software. - Hardly any training for new staff. - People that need to be fired aren't let go, but people that do a good job leave because management doesn't do anything about it except file a report. - Constant rotating staff that seems to be never questioned why they're leaving. - Pay is insulting compared to other companies.
