Pros

The managers help you and are nice. Employee discount is 20%. I had a trip planned already for the weekend of my first week working here and the manager was very nice about letting me take that weekend off.

Cons

It was difficult working the cash register the first day with everyone else busy at their registers. Make sure that you find a solid blue (not teal) top before starting.

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.
