Pros

Always oppurtunities to get more hours, lunch is convenient, made great friends

Cons

Not very organized, the sales employees always foward the customers to the cashiers to handle THEIR job or tell them wrong information and it has the customers and cashiers very irrate and confused. Human resources aren't resourceful, some managers have been there for years but are careless and oblivious. These same managers harrass you on your break bombarding you with questions like "What break are you on?" "Who broke you?" This or that? Vamoose. Weekends can be extremely hectic.

Pros

I have a very empathetic and flexible manager. Although I do meet the requirement to be in office three days a week many others do not and don’t seem to suffer for it. My work can be challenging at times, but due to the slow pace of most things here I rarely feel overwhelmed.

Cons

This is, without equivocation, the most sclerotic organization I have ever been a part of. The management structure and reporting lines are inscrutable and even after 3 years I barely understand how my team fits into the larger picture. My job is a data role, and although getting access to data has improved somewhat, it is still one of my biggest blockers.
