Pros

Usually good coworkers, easy to learn work

Cons

Very tiny pay raises, favoritism, very minimal on employee care from corporate. When I worked for the first time they took care of employees and the second time I worked here they had done away with most incentives.

Pros

I loved helping and being creative with my customers.

Cons

No help from management during the busiest time of the year. Had to manage helping 5+ customers waiting for me on the framing counter at times during my shifts and when I begged for help on the radio multiple times, I was told I had to do it all myself, on top of having 15-20 something orders that needed to be done. I was basically stretched thin, had customers get upset with me for not having enough help or people. I cried every day and would come in 2 hours early and stay 2 hours later just to get production done during the holidays.
