Pros

lots of hours if you want them and are willing to work. Discounts are good, and they let you combine them with the same coupons and benefits the customers have access to.

Cons

Upper management couldnt manage their way out of a wet paper bag. hard to get time off, even when you give them advanced notice. finally removed the freeze on raises, but are still stingy with them.

Pros

If you like working early morning hours and getting off early in the afternoon (which I do) this is a great part-time job. I was a college student when I worked here so it worked perfectly with my schedule. The pay is pretty decent and the people you work with are friendly.

Cons

Only real downside is that it's retail. You're going to run into some rude customers from time to time. There's always work to do and not enough time given to do it sometimes. But as long as you work hard and managers see that you're trying your best there isn't too much pressure put on you.
