Pros
Pay is super nice and you're paid weekly. 15 days off starting your first year, 10 sick paid (from accumulated hours) and 5 personal non-paid. 3 sick days for every child you have in custody. 2 weeks of vacation starting your second year that can be used or cashed in for direct pay. Ability to purhcase 5 days of paid-time-off every six months. Fast paced industry for those who work well under pressure and can hold their own. Growth opportunities expanding every year in newer districts. Affordable health benefits with comprehensive care, dental, eye, prescription, and life insurance. Culture and environment is accepting and fun. Immediate satisfaction from helping consumers needs directly. Second chances abound for many (although, not without punishment) when they stumble and break company policy.
Cons
Being left to carve your path can sometimes be without guidance, and you can struggle with how to tackle problems and time management. Never be satisfied value can be misconstrued as literal, not as a reasonable goal motivator. Lack of consistent management style, i.e. one store may have managers who are extremely lax on rules, but another manager may be extremely results driven and detail oriented. Some groups in store, from clerks to store manager, can click up and treat newcomers or relief personel feel outcast.
