Pros
1. employee store discounts 2. schedule flexibility (good for students who have mid-day school schedules) 3. easy Job, low expectations 4. some supervisors actually care about you and take career development seriously
Cons
1. You know about your social life, well you can forget about having one for awhile. If you work retail you know about the long weekend and evening hours every week. 2. Lazy co-workers. It doesn't take much to outshine your colleagues. 3. Miniscule pay raises. Granted the economy has dictated alot of this but 20 cent raises...c'mon man 4. Unequal pay. "Some of our worst employees make the most money in our department." That's a quote from one of the supervisors in my department...go figure. Tenure is everything here. If you are willing to make this your life's calling then I guess you've earned all these perks.
