Difficult to achieve growth or promotion within the company and easy to be sabotaged by juvenile, vindictive management.
Pros
Flexible hours and somewhat relaxed working environment. No hard manual labor, nothing requiring brute strength or advanced intelligence and decent wages for the amount of work plus they hire felons and don't really do background checks or drug tests. Extremely easy to get a job there....the only thing they check and won't hire is sex offenders.
Cons
Usually part-time hours and only starts at$10.00/hr, jobs can be monotonous and boring, customer base is lower income/poverty level so you have to deal with some really trashy, low rent people, drug addicts and the homeless constantly. The management is usually inexperienced and uneducated, they promote from within the company so any high school dropout or drug addict can get a job there and within a few months be promoted to manager and then be in charge of the whole store. High turnover due to juvenile and vindictive behavior by management as well as favoritism, racism, discrimination and retaliation if that behavior is reported.
