Pros

Decent pay. Easy job application. Usually a clear chain of command. Easy access to all of your shopping needs. Easy to learn.

Cons

No sick days, really. A lot of drama among workers. A lot of paranoia about being coached. No 30 minute lunches - only hour long. Inflexible hours. Schedule changes often - difficult to get management to listen or adapt to anything. Impersonal management... snobbish and mean, most of them. Usually understaffed - trying to find the balance between making the most money and overworking employees.

Pros

The benefits and bonuses you get quartely are great. Time off is easy to recieve. Family oriented for the most part.

Cons

Lots of favoritism. You get promoted based on how much you brown nose, or who you know in the company. Higher management tend to be big headed and disrespectful.

Pros

Exposure to the public and networking opportunities for other jobs. 10% discount on SOME items in the store. Very efficient in their shipping/receiving/stocking of merchandise. Store manager usually makes an attempt to at least talk to every employee once or twice.

Cons

The department managers did not unlock doors, override transactions, step-in as backups when people called off. Difficult to work when procedures are not followed, customer satisfaction is second to profit, and you are expected to work different days of the week with as little as a few days notice to a change in your normal days. HR person is usually difficult to find and talk to about concerns or forms that need to be filled out.
