Pros

Easy mindless work. They are pretty flexible on scheduling and management is excellent. Managers are more than willing to help you succeed in the work place which is hard to find in a company.

Cons

Pay is horrible. Not too much room to grow with the company unless you want to devote your whole career to them.

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.
