Pros

Great employee discount. Management was amicable. Temp job can become full time if sought.

Cons

So much overturn, I was trained by people who'd been there 2 weeks. I was given 30 minutes of training on the register, which takes an average of 40 hours to become fluent in. Coworkers became frustrated when I asked questions while left alone with tasks, receiving no shadowing. No sitting whatsoever. A single 15-minute break. Poor explanation of the shelving system until asked a 3rd time. The absolute apathy of my coworkers.

Pros

Great coworkers. Get quarterly bonus checks. Not a super hard job.

Cons

Mangement is kinda iffy and they really require you to do a lot more work than you're paid for.
