Pros

20% crew discount, first to know about drops in new products or mini totes, face-paced/rarely boring, co-workers and most customers are very friendly and engaging, mindful of food waste and will donate food to local org.s/charities, people love to be there and you are part of that fun and enjoyable experience of making someone’s day brighter

Cons

Very physically laborious (co-workers are out on workers comp often for serious injuries that require surgery or months of recoup), management doesn’t really communicate effectively with each other (like they aren’t getting enough support from the Captain), depending on store and who’s in charge of schedule part-timers will be scheduled up to 38 hr.s if keep schedule open (don’t expect to have a life outside of much energy for it), more sketchy it’s like a norm for there to be workplace relationships (as long as you are both are at the same level ex.
