Pros

-associates get free meals when working -opportunities for pay increase as you gain skills. -promotions are also an opportunity -discounts when not working.

Cons

-my manager was not the nicest. she told me she decreased my hours because apparently having your co-workers talk to you (as in they approached me, and i continued working ) counts as being too much of a distraction. so basically i was given less hours for not hating my coworkers.... ps she ended up increasing THEIR hours, what a load of crap. Also she promised to start my transfer papers two months in advance and when i got to the new place the guy had never heard of my requested transfer prior to meeting me! the job its self is stressful, hot, and tiring. lines form and dont end at night, you dont even have a chance to drink water sometimes for 5 hours straight until your ten minute break. then you have to go back into the heated abbyss of crabby customers .
