Pros

Discount Don't need to bother customers Customers are usually very nice

Cons

Expect you to work 6 days or 7 days straight with only one day off in between You have to wait till the end of the week to see what shifts your doing next week You would get asked to stay long after you've already done a 9 hour shift If working late shift you are not let out on time until everything is finsihed They expect you to do tasks within 10 or 15 minutes which is just not possible if your one person You are then asked to maintain various departments and merchandise everything and tidy all by yourself You are basically doing 4 people's job in one all for little amount of money No progression unless you suck up to management and make your life all about homesense and come in on your days off

Pros

Flexible work hours, accommodating to students, attentive management, overall pleasant experience and welcoming atmosphere

Cons

A repetitive job that doesn't have a lot of variety from day to day. There is a lot of pressure that pushes customer service, but then management pushes for large projects that take away from the customer experience.

Cons

Lack of proper training on-the-job, expected to know job responsibilities from the get go, large organization makes it hard to have relationship with management and you have multiple bosses, limited hours given for part time
