Pros

There is nothing beneficial to work for this store location or this district.

Cons

Used employees , not compensated for any gas mileage, was the only key holder that had no vehicle rode to work with Uber and it was the closest store to my house but they'd want me to travel rather other key holders knowing it was effecting my paycheck every week

Pros

Right district, region, staff and customers can make a difference.

Cons

Your store is treated like a glorified warehouse Bare bones minimum for hours given to operate the store, but still expected to maintain show room quality appearance

Pros

Never a lull in the action

Cons

Stock shelves, but while you don't forget you're running the register. And cleaning the bathrooms. And answering the phone. And ending world hunger. All at the same time!
