Pros

We got paid an extra 2 dollars an hour for working on weekends. Pretty laid back job. Not very stressful.

Cons

Had to work every other weekend. They weren't very flexible with their schedule. Had to work past close many nights.

Pros

The money as a cashier was great compared to any other place nearby. They also pay more for weekends and holidays. It was really easy to get extra hours when I asked for them. I loved the other employees and management was firm but enjoyable

Cons

Make sure your drawer is never off because you will get written up for any amount over or under. Also, it is difficult to know where all of the items go when you do returns.. especially when you only had a quick walkaround.

Pros

Its a good place to work while you're in school. The pay is decent and I feel that my job is secure. You get bonus pay on weekends and holidays. Employees get a 10% discount off of merchindise in the store, even gift cards. The scheduling is extremely flexible for part timers and management is very willing to work around school schedules. You generally get similar shifts every week with the same amount of hours as you request to work. It is easy to call off...you don't need to get a replacement to come cover your shift. The management in my department is generally easy to talk to. The employees that work there tend to have fairly good customer service skills and they take their jobs seriosly.

Cons

There is a high turnover rate of employees. People around my age (20) and younger generally don't stay very long. It is fairly demanding physically. Sometimes you are expected to lift doors, lumber, or bags of concrete mix. Working weekends can be hell. Employees will sometimes take advantage of the fact that calling of is so easy. Managers are overworked, and when they get stressed out, the whole department will suffer. The work is quite monotomous and you can expect to do the same things all day, every shift. You will get pulled from promotional considerations if your job performance suffers a little. It is difficult to move from department to department.
