Pros

SOME of the people you work with are fun. I've lost 7 lbs. from walking 15-20 miles every time I work.

Cons

The pay is horrible. They pay minimum wage, $7.45 per hour. I was shocked when offered the job. I am also shocked that people actually take 37 items in a dressing room then proceed to try them on, then leave them laying on the floor. Were they raised in a barn? You walk about 20 miles each 4 hour shift putting away clothes and running back and forth to help on the cash registers. Several of the old people who work at our store are short on patience with new employees and act like curmudgeons.
