Pros
The customers are usually nice, and I enjoy being able to help people and talk to people. Coworkers are usually very nice too. Good discount, and free stuff sometimes.
Cons
Low pay, constant scheduling changes with no discussion with employees. Don’t bother going above and beyond, it won’t be recognized, you won’t get better pay. A full time coworker was out for a long while and the part time employees picked up the slack, I was working 25-35 hours a week and picking up extra shifts on short notice. Coworker came back, and management/corporate cut my hours to 6-12 a week. That is no where near a livable wage, and it feels unfair to cut my hours so much when I stepped up and took on more hours than a part time employee should have to. We also get blamed when people steal things for not being attentive enough, despite not being allowed to say anything to the person stealing about theft. Expected to keep a high UPT and get chastised when we don’t, even though it’s often out of our control. Expect you to stay after closing to reset the store- and sometimes expect you to do it while clocked out. I could go on.
