Pros

10% discount. Get treated like family depending on your location. scheduling depends on work ethic. Kids and toys...

Cons

Lack of training. You are trained for 2-4 hours the first day and are expected to work solo by your second day. On top of that you'll be expected to train other new hires when you yourself are a new hire. If you have previous retail experience, go for it. But if it is your first job, I would not recommend seasonal position because it is not enough time to learn everything and black Friday will be an ulcer in your stomach. And last of all, expect to figure things out by yourself because you will be by yourself. If you can't sell enough rewards, protection plans, or credit cards, say hello to working 8 hours a week and less.

Pros

Best job ever, I was able to play with toys all the time. I usually stayed late to open boxes, and play, then I put them back in boxes like nothing happened and then go home, my wife always thought I was cheating because I was late, sometimes 3AM, but I just can't stop playing with toys, it was awesome.

Cons

My wife didn't like my job. She hated when I was late.
