Pros

If you're good at your job, they'll often leave you alone to work on whatever you want to (depending on your team lead). There are a couple managers in there who genuinely care about their people and will help out when they can. You also get a 1 hour break and 2 15 minute breaks at your choice of time. The discount card is low but it does make a dent on things when you need. They're also usually pretty good about seasonal leave if your a student, as well.

Cons

You will run into mean customers, and higher ups will not take your side, unless you have a fantastic manager. You will be invisible to everyone who isn't someone you interact with constantly. I turned in my two weeks and they didn't know who I was, and forgot I had turned it in until a week after my notice period ended and I stopped coming in, when I had worked there for 3 years.

Pros

A lot of work which usually needs a lot of personnel. Flexible schedules depending on supervisor. Easy job to keep.

Cons

Micromanagement in excess. No matter the area management will not recognize you in any monetary incentive. Workplace toxicity is rampant specially towards employees from management. HR is a joke.
