"OK" pay
Fun people to work with; managers really get to become friendly with everyone.
Work with you on days off

Scheduling can be a total mess.
Holiday season is terrifying--even for someone who has worked at a store during holiday season before.
Customers are very quick to become cranky and will always blame the first person they see.

Give your stores more leeway--our management would have definitely jumped at the chance to accommodate us and make us feel more comfortable if they had the monetary means to do so.
