Pros

being the cashier during the holidays was super fun. it was busy but in a way where the time goes by fast.

Cons

the manager micromanages and sits in the back watching the cameras the whole time. she then tells the supervisor on the walkie talkie that she's watching you. everybody talks about how they hate her even the assistant managers.
