Pros

Decent health benefits. Full-time benefits for part-timer workers. Great for a part-time job and you can usually pick up extra hours if needed. Good perks - you just have to do your own research to find them! fairly easy job for the pay. Teaches a lot about being safe, secure and proactive. Allows you to interact with a variety of people/customers and coworkers of different backgrounds.

Cons

Takes a long time(years) to get a good schedule (like weekends off). Difficult to get a holiday off or any vacation day in the summer for that matter. May take a while to convert from part-time to full-time. Of course the lax people make the hard workers work harder and management recognizes the hard workers- it just not on paper (reviews)!! Any mistakes you make is highly frowned upon!!

Pros

They offer a fair amount of health insurance options, although the premiums can be a little high. Five percent match on retirement savings. Can work part time and still receive benefits.

Cons

The job is difficult enough dealing with the general public who hates us, add in some of the worst management I have ever seen and the work environment is just downright hostile at times. The worst part is being so short staffed at all times, getting pressured to move faster and then getting punished if you do something wrong or miss one of their tests. Everything about this job makes you feel like you are set up to fail. If you make it to supervisor or if you are friends with higher management, the same rules don't apply to you as everyone else. Supervisors that are abusive to the employees and just sit texting on their phones all day get away with murder. Complaints against abusive and terrible supervisors go ignored. If you want to be overworked, underappreciated, underpaid and sleep deprived, this is the job for you!
