Pros

Job is on Campus Coworkers were mostly a great group of people Free meal every shift over 6 hours

Cons

Everything inside the stores is outrageously overpriced, even though their target audience is broke college students. Management is terrible and continually introduced more and more rules that made absolutely no sense. Originally, this job was somewhere that you could work on homework as a student, as long as you were attentive to any customers that might be in the store, but by the time I left, I was worried to even have a book there to read on slow days. Management would also consistently get the schedules completely wrong, even if you have had the same availabilty forever. Management would consistently be shuffling people around to different locations for no reason. Did I say that the management was terrible?
