Pros

As a part-time weekend/after school job it was great and fit into my schedule. For a first job it was great to have structure.

Cons

Management were terrible. The wrong people we're promoted and were always the power hungry ones that would try to catch you out on every little thing wrong - even as someone who plays by the rules. I was even dragged into the back room and yelled at until I cried. Sick days were met with intensive questioning as to why and if you really were sick - even if you barely took sick days like I did. Many more cons also but too long to list. Unsure if still this way now.
