Pros

Decent pay. Health care, too. Hours are alright, they're at least willing to work around your school schedule... some times.

Cons

Didn't let me take time off to get surgery. Management doesn't communicate well, and favoritism is all you can rely on to be treated decently.

Pros

Great pay and great benefits. The training, at least when I started, was better than any I received at other retail jobs. There are also a lot of opportunities for fun with coworkers and bonding. The food is great and the discount is nice.

Cons

You most likely will get injured. Most of the people in my store have gotten injured at some point, including myself. Hours are highly variable and advancement is dependent upon favoritism rather than hard work. Management turnover compounds these problems.
