Pros

Good pay MOST coworkers friendly some customers are nice and many regulars That's it, no other pros. Overall very depressing place to be.

Cons

The management is rude Outdated systems (cash registers) Screwed over on hours (either too few or many, usually too few) You never know when you will be home Barely even trained, then you get in trouble for the all the stuff they didn't even train you for, but you learn from it. Takes a couple months to get comfortable with product locations and departments (but that comes with any store job) Can't even have water when you're at the register or on the floor, not even for health reasons Little ability to move upward The music can make you want to die Customers become hostile if they think something is on sale and it isn't. Can become depressing and tedious. I don't recommend getting a job there unless you want to work seasonal.
