Pros

You meet new people who are just trying to make a little money just like yourself. The training is straightforward and usually whoever is training you is genuinely nice.

Cons

As a cashier, they will actually time how fast you ring customers up regardless of how many shopping carts and items that the customers have. Depending on who's supervising, you can get a very rude remark, telling you to pick up the pace. If you're setup at a register near the clothes area, be prepared to waste time trying to ring up clothes (some have price tags missing). Even for part-time, the work schedule is not as flexible. It can get very boring on a slow day and on a busy day it can get extremely hectic but that's typical with most retail stores.

Pros

If you are a Team Leader or higher you get every other weekend off. 10% discount off everything (even video game systems!).

Cons

Christmas time in retail is awful ... no matter how they try to downplay it. Lack of support from upper management and training is a joke (you pretty much are handed a packet and left to do it on your own).

Pros

Great benefits, great start to career for recent graduates

Cons

Long hours and lots of hard work without proper compensation; politics of upper-level management within the buildings
