Pros

The job itself is pretty easy and straightforward so it's a nice place to start out at. The hours were flexible around my school schedule and I was able to move up to Shift Lead and ASM pretty quickly as well. Having a nice boss who was always available to help and fun coworkers helped a lot, too.

Cons

Our store was open 24 hours so sometimes the shift times weren't ideal -- late nights and early, early mornings. Overnight people worked alone, which I was never fully comfortable with. There were some issues with people repeatedly not showing up or pulling their weight (for a while without any repercussions) which is bad enough on it's own, but it's really not fun to have to stay until 2 or 3AM when you have class the next morning. There was also not a decent pay raise for moving up and I'm sure I was being underpaid for an ASM, even if I was only part time.

Pros

Very flexible scheduling, especially if your manager is willing to work around all their employees. You usually get a 50% discount that you can use once a day too.

Cons

Direct district management at this location does not know how to manage people. He will not really do anything to help or assist until his supervisors look into his stores and what he does. He will shift blame onto any general manager he can, and if any district manager decides you are doing your job incorrectly or you need to adjust what you are doing, there will be little to no support in helping you become a better employee. It really can become a "popularity contest" when you work in store management. If you are a regular employee or shift lead, you won't really have any direct contact with district management.
