Pros

Flexible schedule. Friendly co-workers. Light workload. Easy to master the POS system. Customers are generally decent, and management backs you up if they step out of line.

Cons

Extremely poor communication company wide. Huge changes (such as the store staying open an hour later) will be posted on the bulletin board, and that's it. Nearly impossible to move up in the company, raises are basically out of the question. No full time positions available (they are already taken by the 20+ year veterans). Upper management (beyond store level) is a waste of space, with nothing helpful or positive to say EVER, and I'm certain they suck up a huge share of the meager company profits.
