Pros

Great place to make friends with associates & customers alike. Love putting a smile on peoples' faces when I help them out. Enjoy running the front end & cash office. Great opportunity for a fruitful career.

Cons

Takes up too much personal time, management can get political & favoritism runs too deeply. Corporate isn't very helpful for those at the store level.

Pros

For the type of work it is, the benefits you receive are really good. You also have advancement opportunities and stock.

Cons

Your human dignity will be overrunned in the name of keeping the customer happy. Don't ever expect to be right even if you are following policy. The job can become unbeliably tedious and repetitive. Also, promotions are handed out on seniority and not merit. Of course, this all depends on the region and your proximity to corporate
