Pros

-Flexible hours -Great war stories -Teaches you patience

Cons

-If you ask for Sundays off, you will work every Sunday -Pay is just barely above minimum wage -Customers are atrocious and get away with murder -The holiday playlist will resurface in your nightmares -Some managers are just as bad as the customers, and employees are powerless to report them -Employee performance is judged mainly by how many ICAPs they get (aka how many customers they get to sign up for the store credit card)
