Pros
First to see new merchandise, store discount on already cheap stuff. Good music plays in the store while you work.
Cons
Low pay. Mandatory on call shifts without compensation, ridiculous demands such as being on register for hours with no one to cover bathroom breaks, not allowed to drink water during shift but they make you loudly greet all customers walking in the door so you have a sore throat by the end of your shift. Ridiculous expectations like putting out 100 pieces of stock on already bursting full shelves. Pressure to collect email addresses from every customer that effects your hours and how management treats you. No break room. Management ignores your requested schedule (for school, vacation, etc) and makes you cover the shift. Managers tend to be really immature and play favorites so you have to kiss butt (get them lunch on your own time, listen to their problems) so you can get good shifts and be treated well. I've had a couple retail and a fast food job and this was the worst and most unprofessional group.
