      Pros

      Fun work environment My co-workers were extremely easy to get along with and fun to interact with. Loved the customers we got on a daily basis. Loved the manager that I had

      Cons

      If you end up with a bad manager it can make your experience a living hell During the busy hours, you need to be able to keep up with the demand. Some customers can be extremely rude for no reason whatsoever.

      Lots of ups and downs, overall it's a fun, yet stressful place to work

      Pros

      Customers begin to remember you and you form friendships with a lot of them. It's a fast paced environment so if you like to be rushed, this is the place for you. When it's really busy in the store, the time goes by so fast. Employees are friendly for the most part.

      Cons

      If you're working a 9 hour shift, your feet will HuRT. You only get on half and hour break if you're working more than 8 hours. Plus you're not being paid during your break. Customers will be rude to you and make you feel bad, but not too often. The schedule is almost always never up on time. If you can't handle non stop stress for hours at a time, this isn't the job for you.
