Pros

-Doing a great job entails getting "ic's" (instant credit applications), having fast transactions and meeting your Rewards goals. If you can do this, you will be kept on board as a regular sales associate after the holiday season is over. - It's great for college kids or someone who needs a little extra cash for the season and doesn't NEED the job all year. - If you do outstanding on cash register, you will be promoted to Customer Service Rep within 6 weeks. - 36--40 hours a week during holiday season. -They make holidays & birthdays fun for employees.

Cons

-Asking about credit cards/rewards can be wearing, especially when the customers get annoyed by it. (You have to ask or else the customer gets a free gift card). -90% of the seasonal people hired will be let go around January 5th. -Can be a boring job.

Pros

Best job ever, I was able to play with toys all the time. I usually stayed late to open boxes, and play, then I put them back in boxes like nothing happened and then go home, my wife always thought I was cheating because I was late, sometimes 3AM, but I just can't stop playing with toys, it was awesome.

Cons

My wife didn't like my job. She hated when I was late.
