Pros

- Fairly laid back during overnight shifts. - The job itself really isn't difficult at all. - Meet a colorful array of customer personalities. - One free hot dog per shift.

Cons

- Not the cleanest place to work at, despite having to vigorously clean it daily. - During the day it is no longer laid back and can actually become busy to the point of stressful at it's worst. - Cigarette and lottery ticket count at the start and end of every single shift becomes mind numbing very quickly. - Nearly every single consumable item in the store is terrible for you. - You have to watch waves of people all day long buying and consuming aforementioned terrible food. It gets depressing after a while. - You can be tasked with working the fridge and freezer on a whim even if you aren't prepared for the cold (like not having a coat) and have to spend prolonged periods of time in them. - Gas station hot dogs are disgusting.
