Pros

Bump in pay with good work consistency. Good deals/ discount. Friendly coworkers. Have fun with closing managers. Some "regulars" are fun to talk to.

Cons

The most challenging thing for me is the amount of stress I'm under while on the register. We are understaffed with a consistent customer base... Whom happen to be rude and demanding. I am often kept behind register throughout my shift, minus the 3 breaks I get. Sometimes just a 10 and a 30 min lunch. With the remodel, we are put under SO much pressure to maintain the store's product consistency but are no grocery clerks to stock up and face the shelves. The clerks we do have mainly work on go backs and "clean" the bathrooms. With minimal cashiers, we have to call up a manager or supervisor to be on register.
