Pros

Being able to interact with guest from all walks of life was great. It was a great way for me to sharpen my people skills.

Cons

I was fired because I could not get a red card. They say as a cashier it's your responsibility to make sure everyone that comes through your lane knows about the red card they don't explicitly say you have to get a red card but you do and if you don't after 30 days of being there they let you go. A week before I was fired, I reported a team leader who made working there unbearable and I was fired by the exact person I reported.

Pros

If you are looking for a job that you’ll be a part of a fun team environment, have the ability to learn all about customer “guest” service, retail operations and sales, as well as merchandising even at entry level great opportunity. for such a large corporation I have been pleasantly surprised by how tight knit teams are. applying was okay, there were multiple steps (videos, assessments) but overall not too bad)., phone call and then video questions before hiring.

Cons

Pay isn’t great, but for the market it’s fair. Moving up involves a much larger increase in responsibilities and workload relative to the pay increase.
