Pros

Simple tasks, occasionally kept busy or given tasks other than standing in a checkout line. There was likely potential for growth if management is your thing.

Cons

Mind-numbingly boring; half the job is making yourself look busy "for the customer" for some reason. Had to work late (past midnight at times) for the same hourly rate. Could not sit down. Could be reprimanded if caught being tipped.
