Pros

Relaxing job when you're not unloading the trucks/stocking the shelves. Most of the time mgmt would work with you about schedule conflicts.

Cons

Low pay, not enough hours. Definite favoritism when it came to who they scheduled to arrive at 5a.m. and unload the trucks/stock the shelves. Negative atmosphere when it came to management to employee relations. Reminded me of high school. If I wake up at 5 in the morning twice a week and work hard while I'm there, give me more hours for the rest of the week. >$200 paychecks are helpful when you're in the store practically alone stocking shelves when its still dark outside and you are already looking for a reason to go home and sleep.

Pros

Co-workers were awesome to work with as we often had to really band together to get things done due to the poor management my particular store had.

Cons

Management was horrible. Not long after I quit the store manager quit and the assistant manager was fired. Management often did little if anything to help us out with difficult customers, long lines, etc.

Pros

You get to meet a lot of interesting customers

Cons

SM needs to get the Dept.Mgrs to do their jobs. SM also needs to get rid of the people that think it's ok to treat their superiors like crap. For example, cursing them out over the walkie talkie.
