Pros

There is a decent employee discount (20%), job is easy to understand and complete, most non-supervisor employees are nice to work with.

Cons

Rarely have I seen policies on schedules and hours actually followed. Employees are frequently verbally abused by management and customers. There is an extreme disconnect, and lack of communication, between levels of employees. Health and family come last here.

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.
