Pros

co-worker discount. great exercise, eliminates any need for a gym membership. $3 co-worker meal deal every shift. strong co-worker camaraderie. the products are awesome and fun to sell.

Cons

nearly impossible to break into mgmt no matter how 'high potential' you are considered. draconian attendance policy--9 occurrences (unplanned absence or tardy even ONE minute) & you're out, regardless of how far you drive, if your car breaks down, it's blizzarding outside, death in the family. no exceptions. scheduling is all over the place. shifts range from 4-10 hrs, from 8am-11pm. CLOPENING - when you close and then open the very next day. this should be against labor laws. job performance doesn't mean anything to them. they'll suck you dry.
