Pros

There are flexible schedules. Compensation seems comparable. As long as you have the right store manager, the job can be fun and rewarding.

Cons

You have to be willing to swing shifts including midnights. There are far fewer advancement opportunities now that the company's strategy is switiching to from expansion to cost control. If you have the wrong store manager, then in can be an intolerable situation. Some managers do not seem to understand there are only so many ways to build a toilet paper floor stack.
