Pros
-get to see and interact with lots of different kinds of animals -shared interest with coworkers -shared interest with customers -not much to memorize
Cons
-unreasonably low pay with minimal, practically non-existent raises even for employees who've worked there for 4 years -cashiers are often spoken down to by other roles -expected to stand without breaks for several hours at a time or even the whole shift -when business is slow, cashiers are often not given anything to do and are expected to stand idle even when the store is empty -on weekdays, often only one cashier is scheduled to be completely alone at the front of the store, including new hires -when more than one cashier is scheduled, managers prohibit you from talking to one another -must radio someone to ask for permission to use the bathroom -often have to clean up after customers' pets -bathroom is on the opposite side of the store so frequent hand washing is impossible -cashiers are confined to one section of the store, so giving isle numbers and directions to customers is difficult -stores are often understaffed to the point where there are only two employees in the whole location
