Pros

Everyone was really nice.

Cons

They over scheduled me while I was in school. Asked for parttime hours and was receiving full-time 35 hour weeks so it was very overwhelming with school and it was my responsibility to get the shifts covered when I only asked for 16-20 hours.

Pros

None that come to mind.

Cons

Very unwelcoming and discouraging almost from day one. They expect you to know automatically exactly what they want, even though you are reporting to 3 different Managers, all of whom have their own ideas of how things should be run. What might be "right" one day is "wrong" the next. The attitude from management seems to be "do as I say, not as I do," as they frequently break their own rules and contradict their own directions. If you do exactly as instructed, you are told you aren't "taking charge" and if you try to "take charge", they micromanage the heck out of you. The entire system seems to be set up to ensure failure. No matter how hard you work or what you do, you're wrong every single time. Even when management fails to communicate or makes a mistake, they come back and "explain" to you why it's actually your fault. They have really taken scapegoating to a new level. Tons of discouragement and pretty much zero encouragement.

Pros

Setting up new store. Great opportunity to network and meet new people. Flexible on schedule at first. Otherwise good pt gig

Cons

Salary was below min wage. Work became stressful because people were either getting hurt or quitting. Schedule was not flexible for my needs.
