Pros

i really don't think there are any. the pay isn't even worth it.

Cons

they delegate all unsavory tasks to the front end and usually only have one cashier on staff at a time. All cleaning (yes, including the toilets. especially when a customer has absolutely destroyed the stall to the point of becoming a biohazard), organizing, and sorting goes through the front end. Absolutely no sitting, so get used to standing all shift (except during your generous 30 min meal break which you can split into two 15s if you want to take more breaks). Also the customers are usually...difficult.
