Pros

Popshelf has great co-workers and a great company culture. They make sure to hire great people, and you will get along with near everyone guaranteed, as well as great systems for encouragement.

Cons

Non-existant benefits, High Stress due to constant moves, never a chance to breathe, Constant understaffing and overworking, Unrealistic Standards for work (Eg. needing to be both at register, and needing at the back at the store for a move and needing to put out a set amount of freight, and recover, and so on so forth, none of which gets done (or one task gets done) due to short staffing and cut hours), High stress on Management, Keyholders, Employees. Expect very high turnover. Due to such low staff, expect high amounts of drama as well, Primarily due to the fact there is always so much to do, and typically only two or three people an entire day available to work,

Pros

This job was a dream come true. I love the atmosphere, what the company strived for, the cute displays. I didn't even mind the fast paced work and constant overbearing work-load. I thought it was fun, a constant race against time against the new truck that would come and clog our backroom the next week. This place paid me very well but only because of the STL that hired me in believed in hiring for retainment and offered a great starting pay.

Cons

Confused Corporate. They would constantly send two or three different display sets and then decide all of them were supposed to go in the same place yet not allow mixing of sets. The culture is incredibly cliquey, if you're not in with upper management, you're out. You will get the cold shoulder, they will refuse to speak to you. If you perform poorly in their eyes you will hear about it but only because upper management thought it was appropriate to approach part-timers and associates instead of communicating directly. It's incredibly childish and high-school like.
