Pros

Pay and Benefits Paid Holidays Vacation Time

Cons

No opportunities for advancement, regardless of how well your store is run or how outstanding your numbers. After reading many of these reviews, it is obvious that there is a huge gap between store level and upper management. I, too, can vouch for that. In the constant battle of micromanaging, and sometimes clueless DMs, valuable time is taken from the store for daily operational issues. The work also becomes monotonous as the only challenges are trying not to drop dead from exhaustion. Even though the time off is acceptable, you are too exhausted to enjoy it.

Pros

The pay is excellent for a cashier they started off at $12.50 when I was there. That's about it. Good for college students and young people like myself with no responsibilities and at one point, no real bills for the most part.

Cons

I wouldn't recommend this as a career path beyond college or for those working to support families. The hours are horrible. And there is mild discrimination towards college students and part time workers. They know that you're not going to want to work there once you graduate so they cut your hours and inch you out. No priority is given to part time workers for hours when you're working just as hard, if not harder than full timers.
