Pros

The pay is good for someone who doesn't have a lot of experience in the job market yet. Each day is different and can be a fun challenge.

Cons

Unless you like spending most of your waking hours at work, look elsewhere. Also, there is a mentality of "what have you done for me lately" when it comes to hitting their goals. If you don't match or beat them, even if you have for the previous 2 years, then you are a worthless person in their eyes. There's a lot of quick rewards available but they are even quicker to disown you.

Pros

Nothing but getting weekly pay

Cons

Store manager very unprofessional. Telling others even outside of work about my protected personal medical records to mutual acquaintances. Talks negatively about all employees to the other employees when they aren’t around and calls other stores to talk about them. I had to quit it got so bad.
