Pros

Very flexible with you and your schedule Managers buy breakfast or lunch frequently Break room is usually stocked with various snacks and water

Cons

Be expected to help out any and everywhere in the store - The stress and responsibility is not worth the pay Associates tend to be young and unprofessional Management isn’t a cohesive unit There are always callouts which leaves the rest of the team who showed up under pressure to do more

Pros

Decent coworkers, easy tasks, fine hours

Cons

Managers did not cooperate with me in terms of scheduling as a student (i was scheduled 30 hr weeks several weeks in a row despite communicating that I could not work that much because of school) and I felt like I was expected to bend over backwards for awful customers on a regular basis. Also, when district managers would come in for their yearly review the store managers would enact insane policies to make us look good to district that were never implemented otherwise (i.e. we weren't allowed to drink water on the store floor, even if you were on the register for an entire 8 hour shift.) I also did not like being told to continue aggressively pitching the company credit card to customers who had already told me several times that they were not interested, I feel this created a negative relationship between the customer and employees.
