Pros

easy job to get . You don't have to like the manager, they get moved around a lot . You don't have to work too hard they won't fire you.

Cons

Communication and direction from management is dysfunctional. Management passes off training to your fellow coworkers who are surprised this is their new job description. Later on you get told from several other crew members how to do things differently or critized you didn't do something the way they would do it.. If you are a hard worker mangement will give more than your share and then thank you by saying you are not as good a team player as expected.

Pros

-Great way to meet people, socialize, and learn customer service -Always tasked with different things every hour -Friendly crew who will always help you to learn and get better at your job -Get a slight pay raise every 6 months -No outside commitments and amazing benefits if you work full time (about 28 hours a week for every 6 months) -Will take time, but find your friend group, stay with them and have fun, you can't please everybody -Care for your body, do not overdo it with physical labor, its a retail job and you only have one fragile body for yourself, get help or insist about your pains

Cons

-Not many, unless you are stuck in a bad store with bad management -I had some good luck of working in 3 great stores, so YMMV -Sometimes can get cliquey like you are back in high school -Getting promoted up to store management may involve buttering up and being a "yes-person" -Care for your body, do not overdo it with physical labor, its a retail job and you only have one fragile body for yourself, get help or insist about your pains
