GreenBar
Date Reviewed: April 06, 2005
  Years of Employment: 1998 – 1999
  GreenBar
  Overall Grade: D (44%)
  General Comments: A great place to work during college or as a second job for some extra money, but not a job to be taken seriously (unless you truly desire to advance past store-level management). Work hard, but don't take yourself too seriously working in retail.
