Pros

You have AN income, probably better for high schoolers who needs some cash. I never thought I'd be coming back to the retail industry but the economy IS that hard to tackle.

Cons

-10 min breaks (and 30 min lunch are nothing) -lack of comm btw management and associates (they expect to you know everything without tell it to you, terrible training process because you don't know the company nor do they care that you don't) -easily get written up (ex: can't take your lunches late and you better log all detectors going off and you can't +/-$1 if you're a cashier) -they're on your case about everything (ex: sell, don't talk, move around)
