      Pros

      The food is good and you'll get a lot of exercise. Customers love the store, and it stays pretty busy. You get a small discount and sometimes sample the food. The coworkers are friendly, but if you get hurt they'll be misquoted to discredit you.

      Cons

      It will (not may) eventually destroy your body and if you get hurt following instructions, they will deny you were injured so they don't have to pay benefits while you recover and your character will assassinated. Chaotic scheduling means you can't have much life outside work hours. Customers don't realize that behind the smiles is pain.

      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
