Pros

Coworkers are usually decent people. Most (70%) of customers tend to be alright. Work environment wasn't completely terrible.

Cons

Management expects a gold standard while paying for bronze. Corporate expectations don't match in-store reality. Store technology is incredibly old and breaks down often, leaving employees in bad positions. No room for advancement, no raises given for several years (with "promises" that it might be better next year.) Vacation is "earned" based on hours worked and not years with the company.

Pros

Job was easy and with little to no experience anyone could pick up on the tasks easily. The hiring process was also easy along with the interview process.

Cons

You are left on your own with little to no help on the registers. Customers always go to the cashiers for assistance and at times the cashiers do not always have the answer. Then you are left with running around the whole place looking for a manager.
