Pros

Pretty decent discount, friendly staff, easy retail job, simple pos system, easy to learn, fairly pleasant atmosphere, not much to do besides ring people up and fix up the store. Good for future references, not good for permanent positions

Cons

Favoritism, not many part time hours, the pay isn't all that great though and there's a lot of obnoxious housewives to deal with constantly that will frequently buy things then return them the same day. Some of the customers are very entitled and will be rude if you do not immediately accommodate them. Boring and tedious especially when it's slow. Also the systems are outdated

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.
