Pros

You get an employee discount, which is nice. You get a 15-minute break every two hours if you work 4 hours or more, as well as an (unpaid) lunch break if you work more than six or so. They were incredibly flexible with scheduling.

Cons

The people aren't always great. Pay isn't amazing either. DO NOT JOIN THE UNION-they're absolutely useless unless you're a full-time worker who's been there for years.

Pros

Good work/life balance, steady employment.

Cons

Low morale, polarizing people seem to stay too long in the dept., without benefit of attitude adjustments; internal promotions seem almost non-existent; avenues to build skill sets are limited.
