Pros

Variety of *entry*level* jobs, great for jacks-of-all-trades. Great for students, fill-in jobs, seasonal employment, summer work, etc. Good connections to local job community; often many opportunities (not always).

Cons

--Several different positions are usually available, but many people vying for them. Often overly-qualified applicants (such as myself, with nearly 100% on all tests) with lower experience in available fields are left doing $8/hour foodservice fill-in jobs with no explanation. --Have to sometimes pry 'minimum rate' advice from associates (balance skills/experience with minimum requested income rate to enhance prospects) -- I've been badly advised on more than one occasion, and been passed over for perfectly acceptable jobs that were very close to but under my minimum.

Pros

Flexibility in work life balance, good benefits, ability to travel. Technology adept organization with great training and tools at their disposal. Brand recognition.

Cons

After disclosing a health-related issue to my employer, my employment was terminated without notice shortly thereafter. While the company operates in an at-will state, the timing of the termination made the situation feel deeply unfair and concerning. There was no discussion of accommodations or next steps, and the decision came as a shock. This experience significantly impacted my trust in leadership and how employees are treated during vulnerable moments.
