Pros

Medical benefits for part timers

Cons

While they are big on community support and feeding other countries they could care less that the employees are living in poverty. They bring you in with the promise of work, benefits and annual bonuses. What they really do is cut your hours so drastically that you don't work enough hours to keep your benefits or earn a decent share of the bonus or make enough to pay your bills. They do this so the management can get a bigger bonus. The biggest priority for the company is conning members into an upgrade. They staff bare minimum in the ancillary depts. Ie jewelry photo phones etc the managers are young and socialize with associates outside of work and unless you are part of the circle you will never see a promotion. They do the obligatory interviews a required by corporate but unless you are friends you don't have a chance. The front end supervisors are teens to twentys that do not have a clue as to how to supervise.. District and corporate aren't any better,i have called both using the open door policy and have never gotten a call back. You can't reach them in person only leave a message that goes unanswered.

Pros

It’s a great job with amazing pay, camaraderie, and their is never a time when an employee doesn’t have to do anything.

Cons

The only con is the point system and sometimes the lack of flexibility for taking days off for important events.
