Pros

Great opportunity to learn how to work effectively, push yourself to do better, and the importance of team work among your coworkers

Cons

65-75 hour work week, inconsistencies with upper management, no open communication-even though that's "#1 priority", no praise for a good job-just a you used to be really good at ____ etc.

Pros

opportunity to strengthen your resume

Cons

You will never fully succeed at this job. There is a preponderance of perpetual issues that upper mgmt brings to your attention daily. There is no work/life balance/ more realistically it is all work and no other life total imbalance and yet you still cannot succeed.

Pros

Full time benefits for part time work 18 hrs and up. Insurance provided at no cost to employee for individual coverage,minimal cost for family coverage.Decent start wage for type of work.You will never be bored as there is always something to be done.

Cons

Ridiculous amount of focus put on ring speed, to the detriment of products as well as employees.Caters to lower socio-economic levels thereby forcing you to deal on a daily basis with ridiculous people who can't seem to add to save their lives,let alone remember their PIN numbers.Customers are very flustered by the speed of checkout which leads to them being rude.On an average day there are 2 employees in entire store to handle both stocking and cashier duties, which means in order to function you must move at top speed 100% of the time.Breaks are taken in an 'as you can get them' fashion which often is in 2 minute increments.Hours fluctuate greatly based on sales predictions.You may have 38 one week and 15 the next.
