Good first job, bad job to have forever.
Pros: Working with people, and dealing with the general public (sometimes customer service). Good job to have if you've never worked before. Great learning expierence.
Cons: As a cashier, they expect you to greet customers like you're super excited to be there and as if you are a 17 year old girl. So not very fun working there as a guy at times. The upper management is usually on the level (store manager/assistant store manager) however the shift managers are usually in their 20s or younger. 

When I started there I made 7.50 an hour and when I left two years later, I was making 7.70. Early on they wanted to train me to do everything in the store. This is one of the precursors to becoming a manager. I asked how much more money they'd pay me and it was 5 cents more an hour. Not worth it.
