Great environment pro people and strong culture

Overall a really great place to work and grow as a professional. They worked with me during my college courses. Also, management seemed to always be able to accommodate any schedule requests. To end, the pay was very satisfying. Dollar raises every six months. That’s very competitive in this market of retail.

Managers only care about themselves

If you do work here, work here for the money, that's it. The general managers do not care about their employees unless they are their best friends. I got injured and got little accommodation or acknowledgment from my manager.
