Pros

Overall, it's not a bad place to work for some extra money---don't feel it is a place to work long-term for most people.

Cons

I wish there was more opportunities for advancement for the employees who already work in the store. The pay isn't great, but what do you expect for an entry-level retail position? Since there are so many employees working different hours, it's hard to get to know co-workers....some days it feels like you are working with a bunch of strangers. I've worked at other retail stores and didn't feel this way. On occasion, you don't always get a lunch break at a reasonable time which is tough if you've been on the register for an extended amount of time and need to use the restroom.

Pros

If you are looking for a job that you’ll be a part of a fun team environment, have the ability to learn all about customer “guest” service, retail operations and sales, as well as merchandising even at entry level great opportunity. for such a large corporation I have been pleasantly surprised by how tight knit teams are. applying was okay, there were multiple steps (videos, assessments) but overall not too bad)., phone call and then video questions before hiring.

Cons

Pay isn’t great, but for the market it’s fair. Moving up involves a much larger increase in responsibilities and workload relative to the pay increase.
