Business Outlook

Pros

This has been my first and only job so far. I started working here in high school and worked here throughout college and they were great with working with my school schedule.

Cons

Considering how long I have been here and how hard I work, I don't get paid enough. I didn't just cashier, and compared to the work load other people do, it's an insult that other people who do half as much as I do get paid more than me. People who call in all the time and pretend like they're working got paid more than I did before I finally got promoted. I helped stock, do inventory, product resets, date checks, and served as a scanning coordinator (what I am now). This is a good job for high schoolers, but not something to make a career out of.
