Pros

They can't legally force you not to quit:)

Cons

-They make ALL employees punch-in/punch-out, including bathroom breaks. Yes you heard that right, there is a gate to the bathroom that is activated by you punching out (depending on what office you are in). -The teams are divided into two camps 1) employees with a severe case of stockholm syndrome and 2) those planning their escape. -Turnover is so high that maintaining software is difficult due to the code-base being unusually fragmented and under-architected. -Pay and benefits are unusually terrible. At the end of the day, a job is a job and if you need some experience you may be forced to work here. I would only recommend working here for the minimum amount of experience needed to go somewhere else.

Pros

Good pay for a cashier Employee discount Good part time hours Clean store

Cons

Petty breaks point system Petty points system for when sick. Unfair practice for the cashier's when we have to take the fall for money missing when it is far more likely and much easier for the supervisors picking up cash out of our drawers to take it than the cashier.
