Pros

Tasks are pretty easy to understand and learning how to operate the register is simple. Direct supervisors are easy to talk to if you need help as is the ASM.

Cons

If you're a cashier you have to keep your change round-ups above 50%, if they fall below that you get reprimanded and if you get too many they will fire you. This solely relies on generosity of customers so if you have a week where you don't get many then you get in trouble
