Pros

good store discount, somewhat flexible hours

Cons

where do i even begin... - minimum wage - old and sometimes disrespectful customers - management is always on your back as a cashier, pressuring you to get people to sign up for the store rewards card or give donations. i was told by one manager to ask customers three times before taking no as an answer - they force you to work weekends even if the store doesn't need it. i've been scheduled on a saturday or sunday with five other cashiers and we get about three customers every hour - only get a 10 minute break for a 5.5 hour shift - poor technology. the POS system constantly crashes/freezes, and managers have to call IT to get it fixed while people are stuck waiting in line - store is usually a mess and is literally falling apart, especially the back room - constant revolving door of employees, poor employee retention - always given busy work even if there's nothing else that has to get done

Pros

it is a decent overall gap job, you will be doing every role in the store and if it is dead you will be expected to multitask up front.

Cons

some of the management could be harsh on employees
