Pros

Not much really. Just a lot of customer interaction. Good for college students, flexible, but too many days off can get boring.

Cons

A lot. The insurence for this job is a joke too. You get paid bi-weekly and they take about $300 for just dental and health alone. Although $11 wasn't bad for dental. You work solo a lot. At the mercy of store manager's and supervisors. Lack of caring about health violations, sanatizing cart. No pay raise, no vacation for part-timers like me. I am still struggling to support myself with this job. Have applied elsewhere. Cost of living raise, no. Still stuck at the same pay when you start. Work between 0-45+ hours. Holiday's get hours cut.

Pros

There are pockets of talent and smarts on the creative side of the business, and I absolutely adored my immediate coworkers and my manager.

Cons

Senior leadership is an absolute mess. They will get us all together for these pep rallies, demand we “AMP IT UP”, then turn around and screw us mercilessly when it comes to raises, bonuses and job security. There is also quite a bit of platonic nepotism happening on the creative end of the business, with people who lend no real value to the work sitting at the very top of the creative pyramid solely because of their relationship to senior leaders. These people are being carried on the shoulders of their creative directors and ACDs, who are all criminally underpaid and under appreciated. With round after round of layoffs, no new wins, and leaders who demand high energy, long hours, and good attitudes at all times, I would strongly advise creatives to steer clear of this train wreck of an agency.
