Pros

Very nice cashiers, supervisors, sales consultants, maintenance, etc. Set schedule most of the time, easy to learn job tasks. Good parking? Not much more to say.

Cons

Not enough pay, not enough scheduled employees per shift, micro-managing, power hungry management. Very distinct separation between "regular" employees and management. Yelled at for being sick and calling out, deliberately making you feel guilty for it. Too much expected of just one person, often I had to carry out the responsibilities of every employee type myself, as a supervisor. No flexibility in the way things are done, at all.
