Pros

Customers and being located in Walmart so I could shop before I got off work were the only pros.

Cons

Pay...worked alone to carry store clientele which was very low but a lot on one person, accused of things by the owners which were lies ....I was trying to maintain store alone and the with no prior experience. The store eventually closed...figures
