Pros

Reasonably flexible with schedules. Handful of cool people to work with.

Cons

You'll never find a manager when you need one, so you're better off learning your job like you're a manager. Hell, might as well even be a stand-in without the same pay or benefits. You'll find your managers in the break room taking breaks without being clocked out. You'll see them wandering around on either the store phones talking to each other or their own personal phones talking to everyone else but you, who needs their help, or the customers, who need someone to blame. If something goes wrong in the department, brace yourself to take the blame and get tossed under the bus. Forget overtime, they'll write you up for ONE MINUTE of unauthorized overtime even if it was because you were assisting a customer. The shift managers don't manage their shift personnel very well either, so it's this constant back and forth between shifts about who keeps screwing up while no one makes any concentrated effort to fix things. Oh, and if you work hard, expect to get EVERYONE ELSE'S jobs too, cause they can't be bothered to teach the new people or correct wrong behavior, they just pawn it off on the most reliable employee till they break them and they leave. Don't bother expressing your concerns and problems with your leaders, they'll just give you long winded responses that could have been summed up in "I don't care". Oh, and they'll work you like full-time without full-time status or benefits.

Pros

Direct coworkers were great to work with. I also enjoyed being left to do my work and not babysat by management.

Cons

Management doesn't know what they are doing. Resets and floor plans were regularly not done properly. The store I worked at has a skeleton crew so I never got help (but was expected to stop everything I'm going to go help other departments/areas). Also meaning good luck to any customers needing help, especially when I was the only person working my area of the store, so when I wasn't there, no one was. Management also regularly disappeared into the offices or were on vacation. Also was terminated for reasons outside my control even though I was told they look at the reasons for attendance incidents before termination. Never got to get the FMLA or accommodation to my doctors before being terminated two days after I requested them. Didn't bother asking for a raise either. I did multiple times and got nothing.
