Pros

Decent benefits for part timers. Liked the people I worked with. Some opportunity to cross train in other departments if you get bored with your job.

Cons

Overall moral is poor due to unstable financial reasons. Company tries sales gimmicks to draw customers instead of making real changes that might help the company.

Pros

Guaranteed 40 hours per week. (Maybe 35 in a slow store) Keeps you busy.

Cons

Focus is on complicated sales and promotions that don't pan out for the business. Absolutely no freedom to make adjustments to meet the wants and needs to store-specific clientele. .

Not bad

Pros

It wasn't the worst job that I ever had. My coworkers and the managers were nice enough, the pay wasn't terrible, and the majority of the customers were polite. Once in a while you'll deal with someone rude or a downright creep, but you'll have that with any customer service job. As for the pace, it ebbs and flows. During meal times there's a big rush of customers getting last minute items, and they tend to peter out over the next couple of hours until the store is almost dead. Then as the next mealtime approaches, it rises again. In short, expect about an hour of excitement, gradually slowing down over the next hour, then 2-3 of silence.

Cons

My experience (not everyone may have had it) was that I was often called in only 3-9 hours a week, and was often sent home early because of a dead store.
