Pros

Flexible scheduling, easy job, employee discount...That's honestly all the positive things I have to say. It kinda really sucks.

Cons

Disrespectful and rude management, few hours, little pay, have to ask customers for personal information so they are often rude, much time is spent ringing up free items.

Pros

Commission. You get paid to sell "warranties" on select items. Selling more gets you more money. In a perfect world that should merit more hours, but sadly it doesn't! PTO You receive a small portion of time off on each paycheck depending on the hours you work. The more hours you work the more PTO time you receive each check.

Cons

Few Hours for part time workers (8-15 at most) Upper management sucks Unrealistic expectations!! If you're looking for a part time job (maybe 2-3 days a week) with commission then this may be the job for you. If you're trying to make a living, look elsewhere!!
