Pros

You get to meet new people and get to personally know some of the people that come in who become your "regulars". I have even met a couple of famous people.

Cons

The payroll is terrible. I can't even get a loan because the pay check doesn't make sense. The management is terrible and there is no team work at my store. The worst manager I have ever had.

Pros

Solid pay for the industry Okay benefits Employee stock purchase plan Pretty consistent hours The actual work is difficult, but fun after you get good at it. Upward momentum is difficult, but the pay scales very well if you work your way up into management. Prepare for intense work if you do though.

Cons

They hire everyone, and your team will make or break your experience. Genuine safety concerns on 3rd shift. You need to be prepared for people to act out. Senior management only have operation management skills. They are not good "people" managers at all. Only "number" managers.
