    7. "Hectic Environment"

      StarStarStarStarStar
      Former Employee - Sales Associate 

      I worked at Pacific Sunwear part-time

      Pros

      The clothes are fashionable and there are reasonable employee discounts

      Cons

      In popular locations the store can get extremely disorganized and very stressful to work in. In addition, for states with minimum wage (7.25), the work is not worth it if it is understaffed. Store was very understaffed and would take hours to clean.
