Pros

Easy to get time off when needed Job is not hard to perform Co-Workers for the most part are very easy to get along with

Cons

No full time options for non department heads/management unless the position is created for someone Very low chance of getting a raise and if you do its only 1% Lunches are given but 10 minute breaks you are supposed to get are never given for front end employees Constant smoke breaks but non front end employess that will walk past you if you are busy and need help to go take their smoke break More and more benifits being cut every year yet management still get's their monthly/Quarter bonus's even though they do little to none of the actual work. Constantly told the things you do wrong/need to improve on but rarely praised for good work. Inconsistant hours

Pros

They (management) can be reasonable at times, such as with your breaks and scheduling.

Cons

My current management isn't giving me enough hours to be even decently sustainable, yet they have open-shifts available that they could assign to anyone, so why not give those hours to people who are severely underscheduled? If you want your workers to work for you, treat them right and compensate them fairly, and stop expecting them to come in everytime you text them just because someone else called out, maybe you need to give the people who constantly call out less hours because they aren't being reliable, and you need to give more hours to the people who do come to work and get things done, because they've proven to be reliable and willing to come in on their assigned days.
