Pros

It wasnt a hard job being a cashier. Meet lots of different types of people and some of them are cooler than others.

Cons

As a cashier you will find out that everybody wants a discount on top of the discount. If the item has no tag, you wait 12 years for someone to bring a tag to you from the back. Also the computer system is so glitchy that either half of the items dont scan, or the whole computer freezes and you have to wait so long for it to decide that it's ready to work again. If you aren't a cashier and work in the back, it seems like a huge workload for way too little pay. And the poor guys in the donation lane are waaaaay over worked. No air conditioning most of the time in the back of the store, and lots of people garage dust, spiders, and cat hair will make your allergies rage. Also they pay minimum wage and will often try to withhold holiday pay unless you complain about it.

Pros

I get paid consistently. I don't have to stress about restraining people or raising my voice. My clients are friendly.

Cons

The pay is that good. I have to travel to NYC every day.

Pros

Work fulfilling both physically and socially, dealing with donors and fellow employees for this retiree and former legal and business professional.

Cons

Creepy, clannish, petty, and cultish management is more interested in humiliating others under the guise of "following rules" many of their own making than in ensuring that the work facility is properly equipped to handle daily workflow. Communication nonexistent. Managers pop in and out, apparently stationed at some secret location.  Robotic replies to legitimate work questions when they weren't out-and-out nasty.  I've occasionally dealt with this sort of folks, but never an entire collection of them cheering each other on as might appear in some deleted scene from "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." Poisonous and bizarre. Recommended only for the Abnormal Psychology student.
