Business Outlook

Pros

Fellow workers were the highlight of the job. Unfortunately most of this can be attributed to poor treatment by management and the franchise owner.

Cons

Extremely uncompetitive pay. Were unwilling to properly staff the location forcing a skeleton crew to hold up a bustling store. Nepotism was evident as workers within the franchise were paid less than managements kid who held fewer responsibilities and performed lower in metrics than the franchise average. Three months late on my yearly review only to refuse to negotiate a pay increase beyond a quarter an hour (this would have made the job pay less than minimum wage due to local increases taking effect).
