Pros

Maybe the discount? Other than that there is none.

Cons

Every employee is unfriendly. They train horribly. Made me work by myself on the register with no back up and a brief training. Had to respond to to mod pages on the first day by myself while the other manager was on lunch which I had no training for any of there return policy’s or anything yet. They were going to have me work as the only manager closing the following week after I got hired even though I told them I need more time to learn everything. There where many steps to closing, takes almost an hour to do. Also the managers would tell me they have to call the cops constantly on customers. Lots of theft and drugs and crazy situations that go on everyday. Smells horrible in the store as well. I quit my last job without having a new one and they where the first to offer me one so I took it but regretted it right after. It was just miserable, worst job I ever had. Quit and got a way better supervisor job after a couple weeks and so beyond glad I did.

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.
