Pros

None, there is nothing good about working there

Cons

5 min break to go to the bathroom and eat 2 5 min breaks is you work over 6 hrs, and that is very rare. No snacks or drinks allowed at the register Managers will not help cash people out, and corporate likes to have as few people working as possible. They are only closed on Christmas, and will not close for Driving bans or tornadoes, or power loss or anything else a normal job will close for. I almost crashed multiple times driving home one day when there was a driving ban with 4 ft of snow overnight. We had 2 customers that day. Ever notice how there is no radio, corporate does not allow music, you also can't listen to your own Pay is minimum wage and you get it every 2 weeks. ALOT of crabby customers when prices change, and also because they have to wait in long lines, but there is no one to help you. Registers are very old and out of date No Benefits unless your a manager If your store closes for damage, good luck your going to work at some other random store. You won't get a lot of hrs, or you will work to much.

Pros

My coworkers are kind and honest. The work is fun when it can be and some of the customers have a good spirit. When it comes to your break, you can at least afford your snacks/meals cause they're cheap. I find it fun to look into what my customers are buying. Managers are great and modest about their greatness. Would recommend to a friend because there are worser places to work at.

Cons

Some people have been consistently calling out in my area and I am burnt out from people who don't show up when they're scheduled to. If you're a cashier, you only get a ten minute break and it's not enough time for ramen. You'll feel lucky when you get 30 minutes for covering someone else's shift. Corporate is dramatic with some of their rules, like it's considered theft if you don't pay for your food, but you require a manager to be present in order to pay for it, and managers can be busy at times. Some customers can be quite impatient whilst making the line longer with demands, especially if they don't calculate their finances whilst shopping. Some of the technology is old and when it's broken down, I am told that I am not allowed to put "out of order" signs up. Some customers don't understand that they should never pay with a $100 bill early in the morning at any store. If you want to volunteer and do extra work without a payroll, you will be told that you can get written up for it because they have to pay you. The trainings on workday are obvious that they're old by many years and have not been updated to match new policies.
