Pros

Working with people, and dealing with the general public (sometimes customer service). Good job to have if you've never worked before. Great learning expierence.

Cons

As a cashier, they expect you to greet customers like you're super excited to be there and as if you are a 17 year old girl. So not very fun working there as a guy at times. The upper management is usually on the level (store manager/assistant store manager) however the shift managers are usually in their 20s or younger. When I started there I made 7.50 an hour and when I left two years later, I was making 7.70. Early on they wanted to train me to do everything in the store. This is one of the precursors to becoming a manager. I asked how much more money they'd pay me and it was 5 cents more an hour. Not worth it.

Pros

In-store management was great, very nice and fun to work with, and was very accommodating when needed.

Cons

I was supposed to be on the official schedule after one week of working, but it took three months to be placed on the schedule, so every day I had to message the store manager to ask if I was needed to work. Once I was on the schedule, I hurt myself outside of work and had to take a day off to go to the doctor (i got someone to cover my shift), After that, I was not on the schedule anymore. I messaged the store manager, the other managers, and the scheduling manager, and after 2 months, I still wasn't on the schedule. I asked the Store manager again, and she said it was my fault I wasn't on the schedule despite the fact that I was messaging everyone I could. I then put my two weeks in because she refused to let me work.
