Pros

Asking for time off was a breeze. Shifts weren't too ridiculously long (about 6 hours is the longest). And the 10% discount was nice.

Cons

I wasn't scheduled for enough hours. The biggest pain was when multiple managers would tell me to do different things. That stupid Kmart Smart Rewards card was a royal pain...especially since everyone who walked in had one. Not only that, but it was required to sign up two rewards cards minimum per shift...or else take a cut in hours or possibly be fired.

Pros

It's close to my house so I can take emergency shifts if they need me to. The managers were really good with working around my school and rowing schedule.

Cons

The customers are arrogant, mostly drug addicts to be honest, but that's expected since the neighborhood isn't that great. I find it extremely difficult to even finish a four hour shift with some of the people I've encountered.
