Pros

- No price checks! - Senior management sensitive to the fact that their employees have families, school, and lives - No shifts longer than six hours - Diligence in regards to breaks - Management is generally OK with it should one not be able to complete all assigned tasks

Cons

- Only closed on Christmas - be prepared to work on Easter, 4th of July, Christmas Eve... - One can be fired if one's drawer has a variance of $3 or more at any given time, even if it is the FIRST offense (I experienced this personally), while the CEO sits back and pulls in $6 million a year - Only a cashier and a manager assigned to a shift (2 people) when there should have been three - Cashiers have to run back and forth between stocking, the balloon station, and the register (which is way harder than it sounds) - No real break room, just a corner of the stockroom with a table and some folding chairs - Customers are extremely messy; don't be surprised to find empty food containers, dirty socks, random shoes, merchandise ripped open and half eaten... - Customers that regularly come in, fill a cart to the brim with merchandise, and walk out, leaving you with a thousand items to put back - Cashiers are generally paid about 10 cents above minimum wage with little opportunity for raises

Pros

Very easy job, small environment. Staff can be fun and helpful.

Cons

Anyone gets hired without any type of background check or experience making it difficult for the ones with experience. horribly fast past environment with only dental benefits. everyone starts out at minimum wage and gets a tiny percentage on an annual raise.
