Pros

Decent pay and good location.

Cons

Unstable. If you are well paid you are at risk of losing your job. Many positions have been “eliminated” only to hire someone else for less money. Very few leaders and a lot of managers who only care about themselves and how they look to upper management. Overworked and hostile environment. No opportunities for advancement or professional growth. Benefits are not good.

Pros

If you like working early morning hours and getting off early in the afternoon (which I do) this is a great part-time job. I was a college student when I worked here so it worked perfectly with my schedule. The pay is pretty decent and the people you work with are friendly.

Cons

Only real downside is that it's retail. You're going to run into some rude customers from time to time. There's always work to do and not enough time given to do it sometimes. But as long as you work hard and managers see that you're trying your best there isn't too much pressure put on you.
