Pros

I got really good people at my store, so there’s empathy for my needs with my schedule. They’re pretty lax about most things, and the work isn’t too hard.

Cons

Really not enough to make a living, but that depends on each department. Also, everything is riding on the first thing you meet at your interview—your store and department manager. If you don’t check off that box with a good feeling about them, then you may run into problems. Gossipy coworkers are also inevitable in retail.
