Okay company

Pros

The coaches in the cash office are relatively nice.

Cons

The HR (p&) members are not helpful at all, told me if I changed my availability I would get terminated. Not flexible. Base pay is pretty bad for me since I have a background in cash handling (worked at a bank)

Pros

Some nice coworkers if your a decent looking guy like me female coworkers will hit on you lol and a slight discount. Schedule was flexible.

Cons

The customers are absolutely disgusting and rude. Cheap clothing attracts cheap people, poor people with bad attitudes from bad neighborhoods. They trash the store so your constantly cleaning up. My time thier it got so bad they got rid of the couches people could sit on because costumers would just trash it. Managers/leads what ever they call themselves would just walk in circles barking micromanagement orders. Some obviously had favorites. Managers would just talk to each other constantly and God forbid they even caught coworkers saying hi to each other.
