Pros

The staff was extremely nice and fun to work with. The store has a very "neighborhood-friendly" feel. Most of the customers were very nice as well; it was easy to make personal friendships with both customers and employees.

Cons

It got very very busy during the holidays; the store was under-staffed so many of us had to work over time and past times we were originally scheduled for. This made it difficult to participate in prior engagements that I personally had planned with family members. The management wasn't very understanding with this.

Pros

Can't think of any. Unless you are still in high school and need an easy job. The job is very brainless and you can easily go through a day without much effort.

Cons

Management is constantly contradicting themselves. One day you are shown a way to do something and the next day another manager wants to talk to you to show you the "right" way to do the task. It's frustrating, because you are always wrong and made to look stupid. The hours are late and the work is very repetitive, and the customers can drive you crazy complaining about prices.
