Pros

I go to work everyday, but I never consider it work. There's a great work-life balance if you know how to manage correctly. Payroll is understandable and manageable if you train you lower management to the degree you expect. Discount is amazing and environment is fun. Its not for the average person. You must have a crazy competitive drive and understanding of how to manage properly and coach.

Cons

Upper management can string you along and give you hopes of promotions and raises...but never follow through.

Pros

You could dwell into an hour conversation with a customer during downtime and be appreciated for doing so. Creating a relationship with the costumer is always fun and allows time to be passed, but most of the time you're not doing anything or everything at once during back to school times.

Cons

Slow, and inconsistent hours. 4 hour shifts and sometimes only 1 shift a week. Moving up is all determined by how much the manager personally likes you, not usually by hardwork.
