Overall rating: 3/5
Employment status: current
Experience level: Junior

Appropriate as a First Job
Pros: Flexible scheduling and easy to request hours/days off, helps develop people/customer service skills, and it teaches people the basics for the working world. It is good for young people who have never had a job and have other commitments, such as school.
Cons: Inconsistent scheduling, understaffing (and part-time workers are overworked, which can be extremely stressful), poor store management, policy can be ridiculously strict, some customers are unreasonable and rude, and the training isn't as thorough as it should be (so you better learn fast). Plus, the job is extremely tiresome after looking there for a long period of time. Not a position that you would want as a long term job.
