Pros

Good benefits, close customer interaction. I worked here in high school, and I enjoyed the physical labor. I got to know a lot of the regulars, and employees were fun to work with. Pay was reasonable for an entry level position and many promotions are available, as well as raises.

Cons

There are a too many slackers working here, not everyone, but still a few. I guess that is the nature of the work place though. Also, dont think about getting overtime, they will send you home before you hit 40+ hours. However, this could be a function of managers too.

Pros

Working with people who care about what they are doing. They may not always get it right, but the people I work with always make an effort to find the best answer, even if its not perfect. I also work with people who genuinely care about their co-workers and help out in a crisis. I have seen that first hand. Like to use all the knowledge I have gained in my time with the company, and I like solving problems

Cons

Its retail, the hours are harsh and some of the customers are harsh. Its not easiest job to do physically, and the concrete floors take some getting used to. Some exposure to elements in my job, others more so, so you have to be prepared with extra jackets in winter and lots of water in the summer.

Pros

it's a paycheck, health insurance, three weeks paid time off each year after the first year, one of the highest paid jobs in retail so i'm told.

Cons

insane schedule, such as having to work till 10:00pm and be back at 6:00 am the next day. assistant managers have it worse as they are commonly scheduled till midnight and then have to return at 4:00am the next day. having to wear that stupid orange apron.
