Pros

Easy to move up. I started as a bagger. As long as you have a brain and common sense, they will quickly train you to cashier. I spent two years as a cashier. Learn as much as you can as a bagger, you'll be more likely to get off register (i.e. chores around the store- trash, bottle returns, returns). Learned alot about customer service.

Cons

I was commonly by myself as a CSR to manage checkout. Most managers would leave at 4 or 5. I typically worked 4-9 or 4-10. Most of my cashiers would leave at 4 or 4:30 and I wouldn't get more in until 6. You would only get 15 minute break, even with a 6 hour shift. 7 hour shift was two 15minute increments. 8 hours was two 15minutes and a half hour.

Pros

The work itself is easy, co-workers were all very nice and helpful! They feeded us few times and shared cakes that was very nice of them and I appreciate that a lot!

Cons

I had to be at work at 6 am, but that was fine. My problem was I had a bicycle that would brake every week! It rains often on Cape Cod, so you get all wet often if you ride your bike. I had to take some food with me.
