Pros

There were occasional employee appreciation days, where they would have some sort of food like sundaes or pizza (for some reason I remember having corn on the cob as well).

Cons

The management was horrible at the store I worked at, the credit expectations were ridiculous. I wash't even a cashier (I was a Merchandise Associate) and they were still on my back about how many credit cards I opened, like I wasn't spending all of my shifts clearing out fitting rooms and putting clothes away.
