Pros

Good for a part time job while you're in school or in-between jobs or something, but not a great place for long-term employment. They'll move you around from department to department if you are decent at your job and show some initiative.

Cons

It is a physically and emotionally draining job to deal with the public like that when you are getting paid next to nothing. Sometimes your coworkers are happy and motivated, but most of the time they just talk about how much they hate their job.

Pros

Insurance is great. People are friendly. You get out of it what you put in to it.

Cons

No room for advancement unless you've been there a long time. Be ready for physical labor and injuries. The pay is so small that people can't make a living off of it and only stay because the insurance is so good.

Don't work for them

Pros

Most Associates are really cool people. Once you have worked for them for about 9 months the benefits are great.

Cons

The harder you work the more they expect of you to the point where it's impossible to live up to their expectations. The pay is terrible. Management will make promises but seems they make no attempt to keep them. They heavily play favorites. Hard work often goes unnoticed. In order to attract new hires they start new people at 10 cents more than you. And more than often they will end up with more hours than you. They love to make you take your vacation even if you didn't ask for it. Then when you want it, they refuse.
