Pros

I enjoy my job, my duties and my coworkers. Its a high paced, fun place to work. I really enjoy working with the public.

Cons

Part time employees don't get enough hours. On average I'm scheduled 13-15 hours per week and have to volunteer on my days off to get extra hours. Corporate only allows part time employees to have no more than 24.50 hours per week, but our new store manager has cut part timers back even more only allowing us to have 20-22 hours a week max(if we are lucky). Usually we get scheduled several short shifts a week 4 or 5 hours a day when scheduled. 30-40 hours for a 2 week pay check at $9.00/hr is hardly enough for a single person to make it on. Most of us are trying to support a family of 3,4,5 or more and its just not enough.

Pros

All of my coworkers were wonderful. No high school drama. Boss was flexible and understanding, although he always liked it if you said you could work more hours. The employee discount is pretty awesome. The work wasn't bad and rude customers were rare.

Cons

There was pressure to come in even when you were sick. Pay wasn't the greatest; it usually stayed ahead of minimum wage, but by no means kept up with inflation. Visits from corporate often meant a new change in procedures that had been working and demands that were somewhat unreasonable given the constraints of the layout or number of employees available.
