Pros

Flexible schedule. The store manager and production manager seem to have a pretty free hand provided their store is making money. Informal work environment insofar as the typically ridiculous codes regarding dress/safety/decorum/etc. that corporate has dreamed up are largely ignored in favor of actually getting stuff done.

Cons

They don't call it slavers for nothing. They will try and work you to death/termination. Unless you have a degree and are hired as management there is little opportunity for advancement and raises are of the $.20-$.30 variety, no matter how well you perform. It's a low margin business, trying to sell off donated stuff, so everything at the store level is geared toward keeping overhead down. A $2 t-shirt needs to be handled by 4-6 people before it can be sold and the chance of it selling is probably less than %50, so no maintenance or loss prevention because a competent maintenance guy would probably cost nearly as much as the production manager. The store manager is frequently seen emptying garbage cans because one person called in sick/quit/was fired.
