Pros

- My coworkers are really nice - Customers can be really nice and tend to say how appreciative they are of our employees

Cons

- The pay for the amount of work they expect you to do - Stores are given 120 hrs a week to split between 8 people and the wonder why stock isn’t being pushed - Multiple times throughout the week, employees are forced to work ALONE for a solid 5-6 hrs. If you can’t get stock out, check out customers, and manager an entire store AT THE SAME TIME, you will get talked about and that your “a lazy worker” - The cameras NEVER work and they refuse to add any on the outside of the store (which is why we get robbed so much) - It’s so unsafe, I’ve had many dangerous and unsettling experiences at my workplace and I was told “it happens everywhere, your fine” by management - NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOU, it don’t matter how many years you been there, how hardworking you may be, the company does not care about you not one bit. Your literally just another clog in the money machine making sure they’re well fed while your overworked, overlooked, and miserable. - If you’re a manager? Forget ab it, your gonna basically LIVE at the store with no extra bonuses, acknowledgement, or anything, you’ll literally be a worker they can make do everything and then threaten you with losing your job if you don’t do it.. sounds fun right?

Pros

You have an opportunity to create good good relationships with your customers.

Cons

There is no work life balance. If you’re a store manager you’re expected to be there 24/7 if necessary. You’re also salary, so you’re paid for a flat 40 hours but required to schedule yourself for a minimum of 48 hours. No holiday pay, no overtime. You have access to two types of bonuses but they’re IF you qualify for them. You get little to no support from upper management and constantly told you’re not doing enough. They don’t care if you’re having staffing issues and still expect you to get the truck completely worked in 2 days and the store to be 100% recovered daily, even if you’re alone. Then they’ll either look for ways to write you up to terminate you or push you until you quit.
