Pros

Opportunities for advancement without a degree. I've known many people who for one reason or another didn't pursue higher education and were relegated to a low level associate position with the company. However, as time went on and they developed a track record that distinguished themselves in the workplace, they were given the opportunity to grow their career with the company. Their sweat began to payoff as they realized in this type of business the more productive time spent at the store, the more profitable the job.

Cons

Lack of communication. The company tends to play chicken with aspiring employees when it comes to promotions. Leverage an offer against them and you suddenly become the flavor of the week.

Pros

Weekly pay with benefits. No cost for purchasing a lunch or drinks while at work should you work elsewhere. There is a 7-eleven on almost every corner so therefore, you can obtain a job close to home...(in my case within walking distance), with no out of pocket costs to eat or drink every day. All in all I have found that the previous sales job I had making $2.00 more per hour plus commission actually turned out to be making less money with travel time, gas, lunch purchases and drinks for day. Very busy which helps the time to pass with lots of great conversation and interesting customers to make the day fly!

Cons

Lots of standing in one spot at register during busy hours. This can be very hard on the back for someone whom has back problems such as I. I do keep plenty of advil on me. You are in a very fast paced enviroment and must be able to multitask effectively in order to accomplish all of your job requirements while keeping customers happy and being speedy gonzalezzzzzzz!. Well worth it though and the time flies by.
