Great college gig

Pros

Good, competitive pay for skilled sales. Commission based, get out what you put in.

Cons

$4 an hour (even during non-commission generating opening and closing hours) is really rough. A 7-4 shift means 3 hours @ $4 an hour, hard to see how thats OK. Benefits are terrible, so noone takes them.

Fun environment, not-so-fun management

Pros

If you have friends who already work at the location or are easy to get along with, your job is going to be much easier. I had two friends already working as sales associates and it's not too bad because it'll put you in a good mood and it makes dealing with frustrated customers much better.

Cons

Management is pretty tough. Constantly pushed us to do more than we were really able to do. My first month I went all out and had great numbers, but I was kept at that standard.

Good Company, Easy Job, No Room to Advance

Pros

I had a flexible schedule. It was a easy job. You can bring in a boom box and listen to your own music.

Cons

There's no room to advance. All the better jobs are taken and they don't want to leave. So the wait is till they retire.
