Pros

The atmosphere is always busy which makes the day go by fast. Also there is variety as I never work the same position two days in a row.

Cons

The pay is awful. The scheduling is awful (some days I'll close at 1 or 2 in the morning and have to be there to open at 4). Some customers are rude and treat us like we're all idiots because of where we work. A few of our assistant managers aren't very good (they insist we get the order out as fast as possible and say they don't care if it's correct or everything is in there because they have to meet the time deadline even if it means more work later).

Pros

If you've got a good manager, the days go by fast. The quick pace and large volume of customers keep you moving. Also (depending on your manager) it doesn't take long to move up in the company. I started manager training after only three months. Also, as long as you give enough notice it's usually pretty easy to get time off for appointments and other obligations.

Cons

The pay is pretty awful until you make 1st assistant. Also, expect to do laundry every night unless you want your house to smell like old french fry oil. Managers will usually take the side of an obnoxious customer over yours, even when customers get verbally abusive. Also, expect customers to treat you like and uneducated git, no matter what your GPA is/was.
