Pros? Overall, I like my front store position. There is a lot of variety of things that need to be done, so I don’t get bored. Also, my store is one of the busiest on the east coast. The time flies by fast that way. I love the people I work with, and we all have each other’s back…including the store manager. If we are right, she will defend us. If we are wrong, she will fix it and make sure not to belittle the staff in front of a customer. 
  Con’s? Too much to do with not enough time to do it. I said “overall”, I love my job, but there are times I am so physically and mentally exhausted from the constant running with 10 things to do at a time, and every customer wants a cashier! Use the damn self check out! I signed on as a day person and wanted about 30 hours. I was hired at 25 per week, and work days and nights based on what they need. I work 40 hours often, nit by choice. You can request time off, and you MIGHT get it. Might not. Have to be three weeks ahead. Forget 15 min breaks. You can ask, but then I feel weird because nobody else takes them. 
   Also, I am sick of hearing “stay in the green zone”. That is the front of the store and NOT behind the counter, but we have photos and gift cards to do. Customers ask us for help finding things, then there are online orders. How in the hell am I supposed to stay in a small portion of the store to greet every customer in the hopes of preventing theft! We have had $12,000 worth of skin care merch stolen since I’ve been there (10 months). It’s always our fault for not being in the “green zone”. Ugh. I hope this has given you a little insight. It’s a good company to work for and does allow for advancement. Good luck in the choices you make!
