You will work very hard for your pay, though I'm not sure that is necessarily a con, but let's say it's not for the faint-hearted. Some customers can be very rude but I would say that's only about 1% of our customers. Having a very limited amount of special buy products usually angers the customers and we have to deal with that as cashiers. I feel like I am constantly apologizing for the lack of special buy items. We run out very quickly sometimes within a day.
The workload that needs to be done in a short amount of time with a few Associates is very overwhelming at times. As business has grown exponentially, there is not enough help to meet the customers needs.
If we are all at the cash registers, then there is no one on the floor to help the customer or to keep things stocked. We often have lines back up and are unable to keep up even with all of us at the cash registers. This is not good for business! It tells the customers they are not your number one concern but makes it appear that you are more about profit than meeting their needs.
