Pros

Decent pay to start out, decent insurance, vacation time builds fast, closed most holidays and every sunday, education not necessarily required, work is easy to learn..............

Cons

Too many dinosaurs in upper management, hard to get a promotion, will hire outside people that have zero experience and promote others who haven't been there as long, as "managers" , but will try to display petty reasoning for not promoting ones who have been loyal. Having to deal with incompetent upper management makes up for the fact education isn't required to work there. If you have education, and want to be in a place where you're treated with respect consistently, then this is not the place for you long-term! Also, the long-term outlook for this industry isn't promising, given regulations that may pass.

Pros

Customers are friendly and remember your face. Holidays are paid once you've been there over 6 months. Schedule is pretty flexible. That's about the only pros I can see.

Cons

The management here is an absolute joke. They treat you as if you are incompetent and this is not a hard company to work for. You write a personal check out, you give the customer money. It's very simple. The managers expect too much out of entry level positions. I have been there almost 2 years and have had many friends ask if we are hiring. Every time I say yes, but you do not want to work here! Nobody gets paid the same, and the pay is an absolute joke. The atmosphere is immature and hard to work in. And the district manager acts like he enjoys you and wants to better you by promotions but talks bad about you on the manager conference calls!
