Pros

Management is very organized to make sure things done timely, especially when closing in the evenings. The schedule is made with consideration, they try to avoid a late night closing when you have to work the earliest 5 or 6 am shift the next day. Coworkers are friendly and work hard to do a good job. There is typically enough people working to keep up with tasks that are needed so things don't get out of control. Customers are generally very pleasant. The dress code allows you to wear clothing that makes sense for the job you're doing. You can wear practical shoes so your feet are supported and casual work-appropriate clothes that are durable for moving roughly-textured giant garden pots for example. There is a good amount of dust and glitter you will encounter, especially from holiday decor.

Cons

Low hourly pay and not a lot of hours available outside of holidays. Limited opportunities for full time positions. Lifting heavy items and pushing heavy things takes a toll on your body. They try to provide some safety equipment such as gloves and flatbeds, but it can put a strain on your body. Even lifting moderately heavy items like a box set of drinking glasses repeatedly over time can hurt.

Pros

Decent coworkers, easy tasks, fine hours

Cons

Managers did not cooperate with me in terms of scheduling as a student (i was scheduled 30 hr weeks several weeks in a row despite communicating that I could not work that much because of school) and I felt like I was expected to bend over backwards for awful customers on a regular basis. Also, when district managers would come in for their yearly review the store managers would enact insane policies to make us look good to district that were never implemented otherwise (i.e. we weren't allowed to drink water on the store floor, even if you were on the register for an entire 8 hour shift.) I also did not like being told to continue aggressively pitching the company credit card to customers who had already told me several times that they were not interested, I feel this created a negative relationship between the customer and employees.
