Cons
Night, weekend, and holiday business. 10 hour day minimum, can be difficult leaving on time depending on day-to-day operations. Working Sunday is an additional day of pay, with a little extra money, and "optional"... but you can expect to work it most weeks depending on your store. Store has staff 24/7; you can get called 24/7. Store is open holidays; expect to work holidays.
