Pros

Not Much really, Maybe the people you work with if you are fortunate.

Cons

Inconsistent schedule, constant overflow of stock. Thin labor hours, everything is rushed and you will be multitasking continuously. The problem is that when you are disrupted from completing the stocking portions you are penalized because those are essentially timed events.
