Pros

If you need money, go for it. If you are great at mind games and convincing people to sign up for a card they don't need, and buy things they don't need with it, you are a great candidate for this company.

Cons

Credit is the main focus if you are a cashier. If you can't get people to sign up or if you are low on credit applications, say goodbye to your hours. There is excessive pressure on cashiers to have people sign up for the credit card, and if they already have the main cards, get them to sign up for the other higher interest cards. Your hours are affected, and are pressured all day and night for credit. It doesn't matter how matter you get or if you are the leader in credit, you still get pressured because of the rest of the group's efforts. I felt that while it is in my job description to get credit applications, we can't be pushy as to the point of making customers angry when GOOD customer service is supposed to be another main focus. Good customer service in my opinion is what makes people return. If an establishment provides excellent customer service, customers are happy and will remember the happy feeling they got when they shopped at that certain establishment. If they are bombarded with offers for a credit card, they will most certainly remember that and most likely avoid the company.
