Pros

GREAT FIRST JOB. Great coworkers, easy hiring process / interview, no prior experience needed, can get off registers easily to do other work, friendly managers, cashier item/minute rate not terribly strict, getting re-hired is a breeze.

Cons

Owners are passive-aggressive, no bonuses or raises, no promotion unless you continually push them for it, (even if promoted or moved, they will still make you do your old job), lousy benefits offered to full time and career employees, front end employees prone to drama. No incentive whatsoever to stick around.
