Pros

There will be tons of work, so you'll have many experiences to learn and gain experience. Also, there will be genuine coworkers who will be willing to teach you and guide you.

Cons

If you're up for the challenge of accepting overwhelming workload with unrealistic deadlines, then, this company is the perfect place for you. They were so inconsiderate that they didn't assess whether what they were expecting were double or even realistic. this made working there very unfulfilling and demotivating.

Pros

The team itself was solid, and the store's a genuinely nice place to work day-to-day.

Cons

The compensation is just not aligned with what you're actually doing. You're running a shift, working register, dealing with customers, training people, managing closings - and all of it's on a cashier's wage. I actually did the math once and it came out to about $17/hour when you factor in everything. The store charges premium prices and does well financially, but shift leads don't see any of that reflected in their pay. That gap is unsustainable, and it's exactly why I left.
