Pros

20% discount, friendly co-workers, diversity of employees.

Cons

Over-worked-have to cover my department, cashier, and cover other departments due to employee shortage. Few hours (10-15) week; managers get bonuses for reducing their budget due to corporate rules. Management replaces shortage of paper towels with toilet paper in lounge. Minimum wage in spite of experience and hard work.

Pros

All of my coworkers were wonderful. No high school drama. Boss was flexible and understanding, although he always liked it if you said you could work more hours. The employee discount is pretty awesome. The work wasn't bad and rude customers were rare.

Cons

There was pressure to come in even when you were sick. Pay wasn't the greatest; it usually stayed ahead of minimum wage, but by no means kept up with inflation. Visits from corporate often meant a new change in procedures that had been working and demands that were somewhat unreasonable given the constraints of the layout or number of employees available.
