Pros

Competitive pay, schedule flexibility, good hours. There's a clear path to follow for moving up but you have to be a top performer in every area of the store.

Cons

You work shoulder-to-shoulder with your coworkers and managers so work drama is inevitable no matter how you avoid it. Management tends to be very unprofessional. The corporation has a 'guest is always right' style, so prepare to take blame for many things beyond your control.
