Pros

Extremely fun atmosphere, the kids are usually very happy to be there, none of the tasks are particularly difficult. Have heard benefits are available to store associates on a need-basis, great employee discount

Cons

*Very dependent on the store, this is for Friendswood, TX location in Baybrook Mall* Can be difficult to move up Seasonal Staff usually under-trained, putting pressure on other employees Not enough registers/stuffers for the traffic that goes through High volume store - need to be able to keep up under pressure If you perform well, you'll get scheduled on busier days more often Compensation low for amount of work expected
