Pros

If you truly love customer service then this is the job for you, otherwise you'll be frustrated. Most managers are nice and fair. They will train you or speak from a position of positive leadership and expectation. They also attempt to encourage good performance through games, Star rewards program & personal rewards like Starbucks. The work can be intensely physical, and the expectations are high but mostly in a good way because you feel accomplished when you complete your projects.

Cons

Like any job, sometimes the management really doesn't have the proper training to be a good manager or lead staff. It's easy to criticize or strike someone down because they haven't met expectation, but much more challenging to lead someone to success through example,by providing proper training and actual leadership. Move fast, walk fast, service the customer fast. This is a good and bad thing. I think before I do, but if you can run on fumes and process without thinking you're in good form and in the right place.

Pros

Job is fairly easy once you get it, hours are decent, and benefits for full-timers are good. Also, not having to work Easter, or Christmas was nice as the store was closed.

Cons

Getting promoted is a lengthy process, the full time staff in most locations hold on to their position for dear life. Management does not do a good job of following up with people who don't do their job well or don't follow rules but will punish those who constantly do well in an effort to "make an example". Also the fact that full time employees are required to have open availability is ridiculous mostly because you're only giving a minimum of 30 hours and it barely goes up from there. If they need to be flexible the company should at least give 40 hours clean.

Pros

Clear idea of job duties, diverse coworkers. Not much else to say.

Cons

Very bad and abusive management, poor training, hard to receive benefits, poor scheduling. GM was intimidating, making it difficult to discuss issues or concerns and even ask simple questions. Discounts were too low. Constant pressure to sell credit cards with little to no incentive. Assistant managers always on cell phones during work hours. Too strict on voids as well.
