Pros

Getting the chance to work on your communication skills with customers and working with people. You kind of work in a team of people in each department so i guess you'll get some teamwork experience.

Cons

Pay is low and education is not required so it's unlikely that you will be able to move up. The benefits are not very good and it is only offered to full time employees.

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.
