Pros

Independent work....someone is not looking over your shoulder all the time. Somewhat flexible schedule except during the holiday season. Co-workers especially mature workers are dependable and pull their own weight.

Cons

Unresponsive management; low pay; not allowed to sit, drink water, etc., at work station; managers always agree with customer and will discipline employee in front of everyone; no consideration for family life or health of employee; new hires, younger employees get away with murder; management takes advantage of mature, experienced employees and overburdens them; lousy raises and worthless rewards and incentives.

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.
