Pros

The job is very easy, monotonous and can be done half-asleep. Even at the management level.

Cons

There are more politics and backbiting in this company than any other I have ever worked for. The best way to move up in the company is to make inside friends and to buy bribe or cheat your way to the top. I've worked for this company for five years in nine different stores in two different states and have seen it in every location.
