Pros

If you truly love customer service then this is the job for you, otherwise you'll be frustrated. Most managers are nice and fair. They will train you or speak from a position of positive leadership and expectation. They also attempt to encourage good performance through games, Star rewards program & personal rewards like Starbucks. The work can be intensely physical, and the expectations are high but mostly in a good way because you feel accomplished when you complete your projects.

Cons

Like any job, sometimes the management really doesn't have the proper training to be a good manager or lead staff. It's easy to criticize or strike someone down because they haven't met expectation, but much more challenging to lead someone to success through example,by providing proper training and actual leadership. Move fast, walk fast, service the customer fast. This is a good and bad thing. I think before I do, but if you can run on fumes and process without thinking you're in good form and in the right place.

Pros

it is a job if you desperately need one

Cons

management does not keep promises (e.g. I was promised $2 higher pay upon accepting the position and later was told it wasn't feasible anymore once starting. I was also promised a specific day off then last minute had it revoked because they decided to make it a mandatory day). management does not listen to or care about its employees, very unprofessional. store managers don't want to do anything to help, they just sit in the office. management let other employees slack off and do nothing and expected others to compensate for their lack of effort general manager was horribly rude and misogynistic. he threw a box at someone while visiting.
