Pros

Weekly pay is the only benefit but they pay minimum wage. Don't bother asking for a increase because they will string you along and find a way to get rid of you.

Cons

30 min lunch breaks. They don't tell you upon hiring that after your trial period your mandatory schedule is a 10 hour shift you get one weekday off and Saturday off which is mandatory because they are closed. The managers for the cashiers are females who are all young and pretty much seem like it's their first job. I have worked several retail jobs prior to this one and I can say it's THE WORST. No organization they want you to do a lot for 9.25 when you ask for a day off in advance to handle personal things doctors appointment etc. Had I've know what I've known now I would have never worked there. The dress code for cashiers is all black while sales ppl wear whatever they want and get paid almost double the cashiers. A lot of favoritism and just gossip. I could go on and on about cons but I won't lol. If you are looking for something just to pay the bills do it but do not get stuck there. They will use you till they need more ppl and they systematically fire ppl so I'm not even sure if kissing butt is even worth it. There are no benefits and no perks for working there. Honestly you're better off in mcdonalds which pays more!!!! Lol

Pros

Good pay, experience isn't necessarily required. You can usually move across different departments. Lots of days off for holidays.

Cons

If you plan on working in corporate, it's a lot easier if you're male and Orthadox Jewish (Chasidish is preferred). Otherwise don't bother trying to get promoted to management if your department doesn't already have women in it. Managers tend to get very upset if you talk to people in other departments. Especially if you're female. Dress code is strictly enforced and is done in a very disrespectful manner. Supervisors are expected to keep tabs on how long every woman's skirt is and reprimand them if it doesn't strictly adhere to the rules. Depending on your department, get ready to keep a very, very close eye on the precisely 30 minute lunch breaks. Supervisors log your times and you'll get in trouble if you go over. The downside of not requiring prior experience is that managers often don't know how to manage well. They'll give you a large workload, sympathize when you say there isn't enough time to get all of it done but then come back around and then criticize you later for not getting all of it done.
