Pros

You get to meet some awesome people, pay its average, and you'll spend a lot of your time either reading or getting personal stuff done during slow season

Cons

There could be rude customers but other than that nothing bad. In Xmas season and back to college season it can get pretty crazy in the store, but as long as you have a good staff you'll be okay

Pros

Amazing store owners. Starting pay was really good for my first job ( I was 16 ) and I was given three raises. They understood and worked with my schedule. I learned and grew so much. I got to interact with customers, learn about shipping, packing, printing, design, and sales, and I felt like it was a job with a lot of variety. The owners always fed us at and paid us for our weekly meetings. Some customers were regulars and I got to know them pretty well, which was another great experience. Christmas-time is obviously busy season, but I enjoyed it being busy. We warmed cookies for our customers during the holiday season and it was always a good time.

Cons

Limited potential for growth. That's why I left after a year. No raise came with my ending job title of Assistant Manager, and I didn't expect one either because the title didn't really bring new responsibilities. However, at that point there was nowhere further up to go. (The single store manager we had wasn't leaving anytime soon.) Also, I didn't expect to make a lot from sales commissions, but they could have made them a little easier to achieve. They only awarded them on very specific sales which didn't come up often.

Pros

Great networking opportunities as well as retail and sales experience. Learn about the franchise and how to properly run one. You can become a Notary Public and have it paid for by the store depending upon location.

Cons

Franchise means each store is independently owned so it's generally hard to advance past a manager position and even then the pay usually isn't that great. Don't get every holiday off that government employees do at USPS.
