Pros

Free coffee and fountain drinks, the manager I had was very nice.

Cons

You really don't get breaks. I worked straight 7 and 8 hour shifts and got the equivalent of two five minute breaks a day. My store was always understaffed, and any time I was given a break, 5 minutes in I was called back to the register. The only people who got any decent kind of break were the smokers who needed 10 minute cigarette breaks twice a day. It was ridiculous. When you are a cashier there you do not even get time to breathe if your store is busy. For 8.50 and hour it's not worth it. Also they do not give out checks, so if you do not have direct deposit with your bank you are stuck with a pay card that has ridiculous atm fees.

Pros

Fantastic health and customer service standards If you have a good management team, everything goes smoothly and even when it doesn't they help you handle it If you negotiate pay before being officially hired, they are willing to negotiate Opportunity for growth Affordable benefits that are actually good

Cons

A LOT is expected from you, and if you don't negotiate for higher pay before being hired, or at the time of promotion, it can feel like you're being underpaid for sure. Just because you are on the same level as someone else, doesn't necessarily mean you will receive the same pay rate
