Pros

- Benefits are very good (Time off, medical, etc.) - Work Environment is very laid-back - Very flexible about taking vacation time off - Management is usually very supportive

Cons

- Lower than Average Pay - Very process driven (Can be very tedious) - Depending on what department you're in, the responsibilities are different, therefore the expectations are very different from area to area and are easily muddled - Hard to tell if you are making a significant impact on the company - Might as well be able to wear jeans all the time. (not a serious con, just a recommendation)

Pros

All of my coworkers were wonderful. No high school drama. Boss was flexible and understanding, although he always liked it if you said you could work more hours. The employee discount is pretty awesome. The work wasn't bad and rude customers were rare.

Cons

There was pressure to come in even when you were sick. Pay wasn't the greatest; it usually stayed ahead of minimum wage, but by no means kept up with inflation. Visits from corporate often meant a new change in procedures that had been working and demands that were somewhat unreasonable given the constraints of the layout or number of employees available.
