Pros

Huge on team work, great potential for growth and the potential to earn more money is there you have to be willing to go for it.

Cons

You have to study, memorize, and take tests. You start a such a low pay rate, if you still live with your parents you can go far!

Decent after school job

Pros

Competitive pay, schedule flexibility, good hours. There's a clear path to follow for moving up but you have to be a top performer in every area of the store.

Cons

You work shoulder-to-shoulder with your coworkers and managers so work drama is inevitable no matter how you avoid it. Management tends to be very unprofessional. The corporation has a 'guest is always right' style, so prepare to take blame for many things beyond your control.
