Pros

You work independently a lot, and get to run your own section You get to do a variety of things each day; don't have to stay at one station all day Starting pay is great Quarterly bonuses and other bonuses Competition encouraged

Cons

Some customers are completely batty Starting to become more like a big corporation over time; mandating that employees ask every customer to sign up for the mailing list, enforcing price minimums that are not competitive to amazon Also in some ways not keeping up with the times; inefficient ways of taking in and processing merchandise Not all locations can recycle
