Pros

You get appreciated by most customers. It is a job I guess.

Cons

Poor management. You have the impression that nobody else works apart from yourself ?? You might be right. The office seems like a getaway for some people. Do not call the stores to inquire for a certain item. Employees get told to lie ( "I am so sorry but we do not have that item in the store!") and put the caller on hold for no reason, other than being careless. Have I mentioned poor management ?

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.
