Pros

You have a day to day knowledge of things going on as long as you conversate with customers. You will always smile when you go to work well when your customers are nice. They pay is pretty good and you get to know a whole lot more people.

Cons

You don't get as many hours as you really need and the managers are not so nice.

Pros

Good benefits package, chance to move up if you kiss ass and fit into their mold.

Cons

I was not trained properly in anything that I was supposed to do, I was trained by several different people and they all told me different things, and my training in important areas didn't really seem to concern anyone, I just quit today 3/15/12 due to the fact that when my store manager returned tomorrow and rather than go through the humiliation of being fired I quit.. The reason they were going to fire me was because I called in three times in a two month period, twice to take care of my extremely ill child and the other time because I couldn't get out of bed and was coughing all over the place and was told when they hired me don't come in if you are coughing throwing up or have diarrhea.
