Pros

Decent pay, friendly coworkers, experience growth.

Cons

Standing practically stationary the entire shift because you aren’t allowed to leave the front of the store. Hours fluctuate heavy, I worked 2 days last week & now I work every day for the next 2 weeks but I’m still under full time hours. Being called in on your off days or even asked to come in early all the time. Unorganized management but of course this varies from store to store. Short breaks!
