Vantaggi
Higher than average hourly pay. Fun atmosphere if you are at all interested in the things they sell. Low turnover of staff. 15% employee discount and first chance at sale and clearance items. Never have to work on a Sunday, great store hours on other days. Manager was very understanding about my need to balance personal and work schedules. Attracts a generally pleasant type of customer.
Svantaggi
Manager and Co-manager work exceedingly long hours, open to close is a regular shift for them. Some policies are unfair to customers, sets people up to argue with staff. Seriously outdated technology for cash registers. Leaves lots of room for errors, some of which could get you in trouble. Sale flyers are confusing and hard to follow week to week. Not a job for someone who can't be on their feet for hours or lift at least 30lbs very regularly.
