Pros

Meet a lot of new friends either common customers or co-workers Mostly friendly staff Always help if you ask for it.

Cons

No reward for going above and beyond. Pay isn't tied to amount of work that you have to do. All associates in all positions start at the same rate.(no matter the job) Go through staff fast ( A lot of high school kids . Mostly just a retail job thing) Management not really considerate when it comes to scheduling. (I've been working every saturday and sunday for the past 2 years excluding the ones I have to request off for vacation whereas other associates such as production associates can get weekends off.) No where to go with the company other than become a supervisor. Lazy co-workers that have a good enough attitude instead of a shoot for excellence attitude. Jobs ends up having one or two people doing everything in the store while other associates slack.

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.
