Pros

Very relaxed management but that depends on your store, successfully helping someone is rewarding

Cons

Customers can be incredibly foul or crazy, the union only serves as a wall between you and management that you are funneling money into. You are literally unable to negotiate your wage because of the union.

Pros

If you're desperate, I suppose the stability is a good thing. The biggest pro is that, aside from managers, employees must join the union, which helps keep said employees from being fired for trivial reasons.

Cons

You're constantly talked down to and/or yelled at. It is stressful, and extremely unrewarding work. 10 cent raises every 6 months would not be as terrible if the company would actually stick to it.
