Pros

most co workers were great.

Cons

management was horrible, they all had there own set of rules. One of the csr was so lazy she never did anything for herself. when she was asked to do something she would have one of the cashiers do it and then take credit for it. she made sure she would take her breaks first and her lunch would be go get her purse buy her lunch then go punch out. most days her lunch would last an hour at the least. if one of us was 35 min she would ream us out for being late. she would skip your break if you didn't tell her you needed one.

Pros

The work is easy. Hours are flexible. My store is unionized, so it's good having some Union protection. Management is supportive, and is willing to do the dirty work with me when needed.

Cons

It's repetitive. There can be "office politics" but that probably just depends on your store. Customers can be rude sometimes, as is the nature of customer service. Pay is low. Scheduling is a mess at times.
