Pros

You get a paycheck. Alot of the people I worked with were pretty nice. Occasional $20 bonus. Working in a side-department isnt too bad...especially if you get a decent boss. Mine was a pretty reasonable guy.

Cons

Monotonus work. Customers can be difficult...don't really realize that youre just one person. Same stupid comments and jokes a million times. Management is mostly terrible. They heap high expectations relentlessly. They'll intimidate and threaten to get what they want from you. Under-staffed...and completely disorganized.

Pros

Paid breaks. Can be lazy and get the same pay as a hard worker.

Cons

Your high efforts are not rewarded. Benefits only include the time you put into retail that can be considered experience. Although you have the title for a specific position you will still be forced to complete tasks of another position. Although I was a checker, I was also put on hot food line, samples, cart duty, cleaning bathrooms, cleaning spills, watching self check out, stocking, and many more. Any sense of enjoyment with other coworkers gets shut down quick by management. Availability can be ignored by management. Lots of drama with coworkers. No penalty for inappropriate and unprofessional work. Management cares about business more than employees even though it is “employee owned”.
