Pros

20 percent discount convenient store location employee parking A door to exit the store and never have to work there again

Cons

Being duped (lied to) about your job description when hired Being lied to about the hours you would be working Having to work til 5am Unhappy management no matter how hard you and your co-workers strive to do a good job Unrecognised as a hard working "individual" looked at as a "team", leaving no room for growth Pay is $7.50 per hour

Laid back work, nice people to work with.

Sales driven. There doesn't seem to be much training on how they want the cashiers to do their job.
