Pros

They work with my full-time college schedule and I get a small discount on merchandise, including 2 computers per year.

Cons

The pay is horrible, you don't get pay increases for learning new important skills. When I was hired, the GM told me that school was more important than work yet I have been forced to put school on the back burner twice now. Staples provided good benefits when I started but with the ACA, limits part-time hours to 25/week to avoid giving benefits.

Pros

Good to get experience as a first job

Cons

Small store so there's only 4 people working at a time. Gets hectic during busy seasons and the manager typically hides in the backroom.
