Pros

You get a 10% discount, but you have to use cash.

Cons

You will never get full time hours, so you're basically only making as much as full time at a minimum wage job for ten times the work. During the holiday season you'll have to come in at ridiculous hours in the morning. It's a lot of hard labor, everyone is bitter, and they expect way too much from you in an eight hour shift. And then once January hits your hours drop to almost nothing until about May. Even making $15 an hour and working myself to death for the entire year, according to my W2 I only made $19000 last year. After coming in at 2 AM for a Black Friday we shouldn't even have had during the pandemic, and coming in at 4 am countless other days. It's not worth it. You also can't ask people to wear their masks in the store. This company throws up that big red "FIFTEEN AN HOUR" everywhere to make you think it's a great job. It isn't. There are way better jobs out there.
