Pros

-Helps the community (google how they help) -A simple job to start off working in (great for teens) -Very nice employees -Some managers/assistant managers can be very laid back -Very laid back environment sometimes (FYI it's minimum wage so you can't complain about the compensation since you know that's what you're signing up for) -Will work around a school schedule -Depending on your abilities, and position, you could help in other departments of the store. Gives you experience in other parts of the job as well. (ex: Someone might work as cashier one day then utility the next)

Cons

-Slowly turning into a for-profit business -Sometimes managers can be too demanding, forgetting we're working for barely nothing -Dust and pet dander (think carefully about employment here if you have allergies) -My location has a lot of teens working there and they can sometimes be very unprofessional or lazy -Customers can be hard to deal with at times (rude, ignorant, or...unhygienic)

Pros

There is not a single "pro" to be listed.

Cons

The entire corporate office is beyond ignorant. Completely out of touch with reality, price gouging customers trying to raise profit margins for the non profit. Everyday at any second one call from corporate and there is a change to how everything has to be done, usually causing more issues only to blame people who had nothing to do with their ideas. They don't let the store manager be a store manager.. in fact, I'll sum up everything you need to know in one sentence.. they went as far as to install systems to remotely control the thermostat from their comfy corporate office. Imagine not just the employees but the customers constantly complaining. That is how out of touch with reality they all are.
