Pros

Simple job, same tasks week in and week out. Minimal learning curve. Easy to rank up if you have any work ethic at all. Stable paycheck, though small.

Cons

Creativity is not rewarded. Company is extremely slow to adapt to industry standards or any other change. Culture encourages doing the minimum, any extra effort will not be compensated. 3% annual raise at most regardless of results/efforts. Retail schedule is awful. Store hours change every week. How long before we're working Thanksgiving Day?

Pros

Most employees were really fun to work with, life/work balance was great, taught me good life skills, good first job for work experience.

Cons

Barely got scheduled (pretty sure my location was way over employed), occasional rude and entitled costumers (especially during the holidays), could get very slow and boring at times, sketchy area, overal, not a great job if you're looking for something that pays well.
