Pros

Job security, location (they're everywhere), I can't think of anything else....actually, depending on your position, it can be pretty easy to slack off and do nothing without it being very noticeable. I've spent the majority of my 8 years there walking around talking to people or playing computer games.

Cons

Wages aren't that great and it's based solely on how long you've been there so there is no motivation to do a good job. Customers can be absolutely horrible. You're expected to be available all day, every day including holidays. It can be pretty hard to achieve full-time status. If you're part-time it takes two years before you're eligible for health insurance. Everyone is not treated equally. Management plays favorites.

Pros

• Generally work with fantastic people. • Work is not difficult, and time flies when busy. • My bosses collaborated with me to create a schedule that worked, as I often had other commitments. • Overall, a pleasant work experience most days. Get good at what you do and you'll do fine.

Cons

• Some of the senior management was less friendly than others - as to be expected. • Days were very volatile; some could be extremely easy, and others could be a nightmare. • Scheduling was kept rather limited; although I was able to get the hours I wanted, often times management would look to cut hours from departments whenever possible, leaving less support.
