Pros

The other co-workers and the customers.

Cons

The training could be a lot better. The training modules only cover basic information. The training would be more effective if you trained one-on-one with a head cashier for a couple of days before being turned loose by yourself. Better yet, the Cart tests should be used as a training tool. You learn a lot of useful information from the quarterly test. Unfortunately, you only learn something new from making a mistake and Management is quick to critize you in front of customers.

Pros

There is opportunity for advancement but seriously only if you move between stores OR are among the chosen few within your store of choice. Those who have moved up at my store are almost without fail the individuals who were least effective in their former positions. A regular, rotating corporate schedule for F/T employees is a plus. This affords full timers the ability to plan their lives because they will know their days off months in advance. The downside, your zone or admin manager may try to keep you off corporate rotation. Demand it.

Cons

The communication between senior management (including HR) and employees leaves much to be desired. The cheerleading BS at morning meetings does not qualify as real communication in my book. Recognition for jobs well done usually go unacknowledged or worse yet childishly and/or feebly rewarded. (e.g.- smiley stars on a bulletin board or $25 gift card for a 3/4 million dollar salesman of the year.) Very meager 10% employee discount.
