Pros

Great work environment. Great fellow employees that evolves into great friendships. Very active work where you are constantly moving. Good benefits even if you only work part-time.

Cons

They are at weird point with their management system. Hard to get straight forward answers regarding moving up and opportunities. A lot of possible promotions depend heavily on how much your store manager has your back or likes you.
