Pros

-Most CSR's are nice -Most of the other employees are nice -Flexible hours; I have had soccer tournaments on big holiday weekends, and they have allowed me to take the time off that I need

Cons

-Unless you work in the Portland, ME stores, you make $8/hr, which isn't great when you're a student athlete who can't work 20+ hours a week -When you don't have any customers, you aren't allowed to just stand there, which I understand, but after you have clean your register, blocked the soda machines, AND blocked the candy, there isn't a lot left to do -Sometimes the CSR's pawn their duties off on the cashiers and baggers -Seems like they'll hire ANYONE and keep employees even after they have sworn in front of customers, not shown up to work with no excuse multiple times, etc... -Not in love with the uniforms, but I understand -When the other employees aren't in good moods, they'll take it out on you when you're just trying to be nice to them
