Pros

The shift leads working are typically nice and the coworker environment is good

Cons

The amount of work you do compared to the pay is not worth it. The store is very high volume, and you do not receive the same employee perks you would receieve at a corporate store. You do not receive a shift drink, and you have to be okay with a revolving cast of coworkers.
