Pros

-Good benefits for full time workers -Flexible hours (I could obtain more hours or switch my weekly schedule to afternoons/nights if I needed to) -Food discounts while working (but only while working) -Recognition of accomplishments for good customer service

Cons

-Atmosphere is comparable to a sweat shop -Management turnover is ridiculous (After 3 months of work my location went through 3 store managers) -Lower level managers are terrible -Amount of stress shouldn't be as high as it is for employees just starting out
