Pros

I was walking a lot so I got in exercise

Cons

I was bored out of my mind dealing with people who seemed to care more about shoes than ANYTHING else. It was actually crazy. I didn't feel like my managers viewed me as an actual person, and I ended up quitting before my summer job even ended because I was so desperate to leave :(
