Pros

- Easy to get hired - Most of the job is just showing up on time - Sorting clothes and manning the cash register is pretty easy work - for 25 cents above minimum wage in Arizona where it's already pretty high is great - Lots everywhere so likely easy commute - Friendly coworkers and bosses, at least where I work at. I'd imagine any job is very dependent on the bosses, I'm just lucky the main guy here has always been very lax. - Easy dress code. Can wear sunglasses or a hat if you need it. - Flexible schedule

Cons

- Disgusting nonfunctional bathrooms. Corporate refuses to pay anyone to clean them so they're just out of service most of the time. I have to go to a nearby building. - Disposable Employees. People get hired and fired left and right. - Extremely bright lights that cause headaches - Low pay. It's fine for entry level but they will never pay you that much, better to move on.
