Pros

Interesting goods come in everyday. Pricing is too high but better than a regular store. Lot's of donations so new items everyday.

Cons

Needed to stay home with sick children and was written up. Told if it happens again I will be fired. One set of bathrooms for all staff and customers so you spend your break standing in line. Did I mention that the pricing is way too high and asking people scrounging for change if they want to round up just looks greedy.
