Pros

Working indoors in climate-controlled superstores and supermarkets. Relatively high hourly pay, assuming you can consistently keep the hours promised to you. Hands on work alongside store managers and store department managers that might transfer well to direct employment with that store (salaried employment).

Cons

You are definitely working weekends. I repeat, you are *definitely* working on weekends. You may have several stores with different personalities, or 1-2 stores that you consistently deal with. The weekly audits are timed, and they don't seem to fully account for local store issues that will hurt that time. You will face pressure to 'tighten up' that might affect quality of the audit. And if you are assigned a 'superstore', be patient and prepared to mistaken by customers for a store employee--of which you aren't--so you aren't best prepared to help them like the department associate should. There will be sales projects that potentially 'harass' inventory managers about having certain products on the sales floor. Some superstores will require vendor-like work servicing a non-soda beverage cooler AND/OR snack cakes--these task are timed also, so you've got to whip up performance there also.
