Pros

Easy, for some being given as task and having to work solely on that could be a pro. Nice working enviorment. Good discount. It was an over all clean place. I would say it would be a very good first call-center job now they they are not stressing on call-times so it would give people a chance to wet their feet in the call-center environment.

Cons

It was seasonal work so I didn't plan for that and how quickly they would let me go. I should've been better prepared for that. They were very impersonal with everyone which really didn't help build a team spirit for me- which they often preached about. It was very boring.

Pros

If you like working early morning hours and getting off early in the afternoon (which I do) this is a great part-time job. I was a college student when I worked here so it worked perfectly with my schedule. The pay is pretty decent and the people you work with are friendly.

Cons

Only real downside is that it's retail. You're going to run into some rude customers from time to time. There's always work to do and not enough time given to do it sometimes. But as long as you work hard and managers see that you're trying your best there isn't too much pressure put on you.
