Pros

Free bread if you close the register/bakery area. Good job, but many aspects very unorganized. Co-workers are like family and will help you out with whatever you need.

Cons

Pay sub-par for the amount of work you do in a shift. They tend to hire cute, teenage girls as cashiers who are usually incompetent.
