Pros

You’ll meet wonderful people and make great friends. For the most part, it’s a fun, light-hearted work environment and it’s very team-work driven.

Cons

Your long-term happiness at a location can really depend on the store captain and mates (who sometimes switch and trade places with nearby locations). Mates can sometimes play favoritism and expectations of crew members are not equal.
