Pros

Most Associates are really cool people. Once you have worked for them for about 9 months the benefits are great.

Cons

The harder you work the more they expect of you to the point where it's impossible to live up to their expectations. The pay is terrible. Management will make promises but seems they make no attempt to keep them. They heavily play favorites. Hard work often goes unnoticed. In order to attract new hires they start new people at 10 cents more than you. And more than often they will end up with more hours than you. They love to make you take your vacation even if you didn't ask for it. Then when you want it, they refuse.
