Pros

Easy work, basic retail stuff. Friendly coworkers.

Couldn't continue working here as they locked me into a schedule during school hours (I was in HS) after three weeks of not scheduling me at all. This was my first job at 16.

Pros

Customers are generally pleasant (making fun purchases). My store team and managers were great to work with. Generous associate discount policy. Flexible scheduling.

Cons

Customer service is not a corporate value; poorly-staffed stores and rush-rush policies discourage helping customers. Minimum-wage pay, and if you do your job well, you'll get a 15-cent raise annually. Zero appreciation for knowledgable, hard-working and long-term employees (I was there 8 years), whose only real raises come from increases to minimum wage. Few opportunities to advance to full-time positions.

Pros

Lots of autonomy. Very flexible work scheduling (depends on manager.) Freedom to get the job done however you want.

Cons

Low pay. They start you off at the lowest they can. Like 10 bucks an hour. I started at $12. After 4 years there I only made like $13.50. Framers don't get commissions on sales. But Framing Managers get a cut of overall sales.

Pros

Employee discount was a nice perk.

Cons

Was quickly scheduled for more hours than I originally requested and given customer framing responsibilities with no additional compensation and minimal training.
