Pros

Plenty of room for advancement within the company. The pay is good for what you do and raises are great.

Cons

Benefit packages are expensive for what you get, which is not much for a family. Can be much better for the size of the company.

Pros

My co-workers were really fantastic, which can make even a dull, mindless job okay sometimes. You also get experience working a cash register, and experience with customer service. Also, if you work enough hours throughout the fiscal year you will receive a bonus based on your store's profits.

Cons

Employees are over-worked and underpaid, and there really is not enough staff most of the time to deal with the customer load. This causes understandably upset customers to take out their frustrations on the employees, and I have witnessed a number of young people break down in tears because of angry customers. The management does not adequately recognize a job well done, and the words "thank you" are rarely heard.
