Staffing system doesn't provide enough labor. All tasks required can't be done at a regular pace. Burn-out is common especially among retail management.

Pros

Flexible schedule but not enough hours to support living on your own. Once you get it - your job is a piece of cake but sometimes it can seem overwhelming before you reach that point.

Cons

Inconsistant scheduling - some may like this because flexability is nice but if considering for anything other than the free pound of coffee a week or as a 'consistantly reliable, very part time' job, don't get sucked into the vortex.
