      Challenging but fun most of the time.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Minimal supervision, maximum personal ability to imprint on store. Standards set by manager can be enforced by manager and a determined, caring manager can make a major impact on store appearance and customer acceptance. Great place to play if you love retailing.

      Cons

      Major payroll restrictions. All features controlled by corporate. No ability to purchase for your location. All you get to do is sell what you get. Limits your ability to maximize your market.

      Dollar Hell

      Lead sales assurance
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The store manager is very understanding of needed time off, and will work with others needed schedules. A regular crowd, which are mostly very friendly people. Friendly staff.

      Cons

      Poor management coverage, there are days where I work from our open til close, which would be a total of 14 hours, for someone to have a day off. Poor communication between managers. Staffing hours are stretched thin where senior cashier is entitled majority hours and the so on and so forth. DM's can be very harsh and threatening to store managers.

      Not a bad place to work

      Cashier
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Can be a fun place to work Managers generally seem to care about employees If you are a good employee it is easy to get promotions

      Cons

      Cashier has way too much responsibilities. I had to work the cash register by myself, stock, clean, deal with customers, and anything else the manager wanted me to do and they always had something to add to my list. Senior managers make some stupid decisions sometimes. Pay is not great but I guess not horrible.
