Pros

Repetetive work, if you prefer or appreciate that kind of labor.

Cons

Mismanaged in many locations, shady business practices such as not "firing" someone but removing from schedules until help is deemed necessary; drawer shortages being framed on shifts or people (corporate policy states, that in any case of missing money, a full audit must be done by an informed corporate representative); Franchisees are known for hiring only family; which limits pool of candidates, for long term employment, infinitely.

Pros

good work value and environment friendly

Cons

The manager would call my phone at 3 am to tell me to unload a truck full of drinks alone, constantly, even though it was never mentioned or docked as pay.

Pros

Pay, Schedule Flexibility and Local Teams - That is where the pro's stop

Cons

Upper Management don't seem to have a clue! They do cuts throughout the company every 2 to 3 years just to hire back/hire new people into roles they eliminated 6 months earlier. They say they value people and their concerns but the majority of workers say nothing about the toxic work environment created by Zone Leaders and above in fear of being singled out. They create positions that don't add value to the field and add more and more work onto field staff. Size of areas continually change - first its 10, then 12, then 16, back to 12 and back to 14+ stores. No consistency in there direction, they train you to manage the whirlwind but the problem is...... they create the whirlwind! Upper Management is a do as I say, no questions asked
