Pros

Many convenient store locations Fairly good orientation program Variety of departments to work in Co-workers seemed dedicated to their jobs

Cons

If you aren't working at a cash wrap ringing customers out, the day goes SLOWLY I mean how often can you fold clothes on a table before it drives you mad?? Unpredictable scheduling--I was told during interview that my shift would be a steady early morning one to put stock out on the salesfloor. However I was primarily working late nights until 9 or 10. When I brought this to management's attention they fluffed me off saying it would come "in time." I left after a month.
