Pros

Relaxed environment with very few responsibilities and limited supervision. Basically just helping customers who walk into the store find what they need.

Cons

Have to perform the same tasks over and over like stocking shelves or cleaning the store. Also there is not much to do except busy work if not many customers are in the store.

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.
