Pros

Good insurance (when you can get it) Can move around to different positions in the store

Cons

Happiness depends completely on the competence of your manager. Only guaranteed 20 hours a week, and insurance for non-union required 100 hours a month to get. You can be scheduled to close (until 11:00) and then scheduled to open (7:00) and get no overtime. Unless you explicitly request a weekend off, you can be scheduled to work every weekend in a year.

Pros

Job can be fun and interesting Always something new to learn Lots of personal fulfillment as a manager when things go right

Cons

Unsupportive upper management Toxic work culture, unpaid overtime is rewarded and even expected or forced, even to the tune of multiple weeks in a row with no days off when you are salaried. They claim to support work life balance but even the smallest effort to set boundaries is heavily punished. Not paid as much as we should be for everything we have to do and deal with
