Pros

I worked there as a cashier for a summer job and it was bland, not too exciting. It was easy though, took less then a few hours to get the hang of working the cash register and bagging doesn't really take any brain power. The customers there are usually a lot more talkative and nicer than other places like walmart so its easy to engage in a conversation while scanning items.

Cons

I would recommend working there for a part-time summer job. It gets boring really fast doing the same thing over and over again and managers sometimes standing right over your shoulder. They also aren't clear on when the breaks are to be taken so you kind of feel like a kid asking every time you go into work.

Pros

Young energetic workforce keeps the atmosphere fun but productive. Fair opportunities for advancement, all who desire (and are supported) in advancing both hourly and salaried go through an extensive interview process, no exceptions.

Cons

Like all retail-the hours. As an Executive Team Lead, you will find yourself in the store every other weekend, opening (6am) or closing (sometimes as late as 1am). Additionally, hourly employee turnover is high, so your team is constantly changing. ETL's get right in there with hourly employees, which is important, but often very unrewarding as a college grad- during back to school you spend more time unloading freight setting up endcaps/ refilling product. As a salaried employee you are basically 'free work' to the store b/c of strict overtime rules for hourly team members, so be prepared for long work weeks.
