Pros

The pay is good and the job itself is USUALLY easy. That is, up until some people in charge make it needlessly difficult.

Cons

Dealing with the store manager, specifically for this location. From my POV, he has made working there more difficult than it needed to be. And (in my opinion) he couldn't hire an ant to farm for sugar. I wasn't hired under his regime so that was not a me-problem. There are some things I'd like to go over in great detail here for why I'm saying that he made working there more difficult than it needed to be, but I'm sure that would require lawyers at the table. However, I will say this: if you question my work ethic or why something is taking so long, just realize that I'm a notorious hard worker with normally good speed and that it might just be SOMEONE ELSE'S fault that I'm falling behind on a task. Especially if that someone was also responsible for the last minute rush of completing a certain other task behind it with haphazard results that made it difficult to complete a certain task involving ordering. And your time-based math is horrible. The one SM that I was hired under was way better, but unfortunate circumstances happened. (EDIT: just some grammar)

Pros

The pay is good for the job that it is. Management is very flexible with scheduling.

Cons

The only holidays you don't work are Christmas and Thanksgiving. Very stressful fast paced most of the time, physical labor. Poor work life balance with the ever changing schedules.
