      Good first job, but wouldn't want a career there.

      Pros

      Meet lots of people, make friends, learn some new things. Most of the other employees were pretty friendly and helpful. Paid breaks.

      Cons

      Low pay, most people start at minimum wage. No overtime, unless you get paid salary, then overtime is pretty much required. I was told we were supposed to get a 25 cent raise every six months, but I never got one the year and a half that I worked there. Even when I asked about a raise to HR and management, they always said they'd get back to me. On top of the lousy pay, you have to deal with a lot of ignorant, angry, and impatient customers.

      Pros

      Get to know lots of customers by name. Upper management seems to know how to run the business because most of them have worked their way up.

      Cons

      This is a highly physical job. You are on your feet for the entire shift. Sometimes you feel like a cog working in a machine because the work is never done.

      Good first job-Terrible career

      Pros

      It will make you appreciate every non-retail job you ever have. The stores have good management and focus on the customer.

      Cons

      There is limited chance for advancement and only those at the store director level or above make good money. The store manager position is the one job they dangle but very few get their own store and then if they do it usually a lousy store at first.
