Pros

Management is usually lenient. You can listen to your own music, rather than the ear `piercing pop music that they play on the daily, while working on freight crew. Occasional free candy, managers usually buy you something or offer you lunch when thy ask you to take a double shift.

Cons

Music is very annoying You have to clean, cashier, recover the sales floor, and other small tasks all at the same time. Usually under staffed because the company only allows a certain amount of hours. Your work hours can be easily cut and not work for a week if they went over hours.

Pros

-20% discount -med, dental, vision benefits -20-ish minimum hours per week -genuinely can be a fun store to work in when run well

Cons

-store managers have little to no oversight and cross professional boundaries often - hr is ineffective, document everything yourself, report to the EEOC -growth opportunities in the store are very limited and they will lowball you no matter what you do or sacrifice -crazy turnover because the expectations are unrealistic store managers lie about pay budget to everyone -more likely to hire teens and students because they are easier to take advantage of for little pay, only needs adult for when teens and students cannot work (night shifts, school days) - nearby stores, especially if in a strip mall or shopping center, like tj maxx have higher base pay, better benefits, better security, and more hour availability
