Pros

If you find someone who will teach you sales techniques, the laid back sales requirement can help you learn with no pressure.

Cons

No hours given to part time sales, no incentive to promote people after many years, no commission if performance is above par, no benefits to part timers, even meager ones for people who have been there for years, no direct deposit for part timers. Other cooworkers and management can be a joke at times.

Pros

Most employees were really fun to work with, life/work balance was great, taught me good life skills, good first job for work experience.

Cons

Barely got scheduled (pretty sure my location was way over employed), occasional rude and entitled costumers (especially during the holidays), could get very slow and boring at times, sketchy area, overal, not a great job if you're looking for something that pays well.
