Pros

Teaches you some great foundational skills and work ethic which are transferable to other jobs. Had the opportunity to work at multiple store locations before, and the work culture really just depends on the store manager, you either hit the jackpot or work in a hellhole.

Cons

Didn't personally enjoy the environment at all at my latest store since the new manager changed and started playing favouritism and stopped diversity hires (if you can read between the lines).
