Pros

It's an easy job, anyone can do it. Schedules are flexible, you put in when you can work and when you cannot. You get money for getting credit apps. You get awards and pins for reaching goals or getting customer appraisal.

Cons

No opportunities for advancement. Communication between magagement and employees is lacking. Better suited for a short-term or secondary job. Don't get that many hours unless in the holiday season.

Pros

Employee discount, nice colleagues, better items to purchase on employee discount, can learn good skills if managment wants to develop you

Cons

If managment likes you, you can do well and advance far. If they don't like you, you won't get anywhere there.
