Pros

Hard work but you get paid well so it evens out. Flexible schedule, many hours, open 24/7, best workers get the best hours. Excellent benefits as in stock, tuition reimbursement, profit sharing, and loan forgiveness. I'm looking forward to growing with this company.

Cons

Sometimes terrible clientele and sometimes illegal stuff (robbery, drug dealings or using in the bathroom) usually depends on where you live. Some stores only have a lot of hours during the summer season. Only on the East Coast. Lots of codes and rules to follow.

Pros

(Depending on your manager) you can take the tasks at your own pace and do what feels best, based on what you see. The position I'm in allows headphone use if you're not visible to customers.

Cons

Skeletal shifts are the norm, employee burnout is rampant and unaddressed. Manager turnover is very high at my store, which makes establishing consistency impossible. I get the impression that the conditions for employees vary greatly by store. That said, if you find yourself stuck at a rougher one, your options are to either take the toll to your physical and mental health, or to quit/transfer to a better store. I have personally experienced many legal violations at my place of employment. (keeping the store open and functioning when the workers don't have a bathroom [OSHA fixed that]) (and a few incidents where hours were not properly entered for employees, causing them to work without pay) I have worked here for 4 years without benefits, one year only missing the hour-cutoff for it by an average of 20 minutes. Consistent schedules are very uncommon for employees.
