Pros

Good place to start if you have little/no job experience, good amount of breaks, fair amount of paid holiday days, good hourly rate, lots of overtime opportunities, friendly co-workers, always willing to promote within the company, good relationship with managers although it really does depend on the store

Cons

No discount/benefits, lack of respect and understanding from customers (usually ones that have never worked a day of retail in their life), shop floor recovery can be long and tiring, can be overwhelming as a supervisor especially if you're the only one on the floor (especially during busy times), high rate of staff turnover for weekend staff

Pros

I was supported by a great team that was passionate about their jobs. I was provided with the necessary tools to excel in the position. The management team was extremely supportive. Schedule was very flexible, I had plenty of time for family and friends. A very intelligent management team that was very much involved in the every day business to support business managers, There was a high level of integrity and follow through on their commitments. They excelled in customer service.

Cons

I had no cons, they provided all that I could ask or expect from a business.
