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.

Pros

The customers are amazing and the job itself is very easy and doesn’t demand much work.

Cons

I was terminated after “complaining” about management and was treated unfairly until I had to leave. They were not trying to keep me in the company after I started complaining that I haven’t gotten raise in 2 years.
