Pros

The pay is slightly better than a fast food place and usually you can get more hours with out getting nasty. There are benefits available but you have to work 2 years to get them. You can get discounts for your phone bill and tuition, ect. The work is easy, sometimes even boring. There are opportunities for advancement. The dress code still allows you to dress in your personal style. Unless you are a cashier, you can work at your own pace. You have an advantage when it comes to getting to the deals first.

Cons

They expect you to have 100% open availabilty and will not cut you any slack for your children or anything else. There is a point system for tardies and absences. After three absences you start getting into trouble and after 6 you get fired. There are absolutly so excuses. This is over a six month period. Unless you have been there several years your schedule will have no cinsistency. You might work until midnight and then have to be back at 7am. You will get between four and a half and fourty hours. You can't ask for more than two days off without having worked two years. You will never get a weekend off. Most of your time off requests will be denied.
