Pros

A lot of different stores. Smocks (uniform) provided. Usually they try to place you within a 10 mile radius of your place of residence. Every year they raise a lot of money for the MDA. Currently they have a profit sharing plan although I don't know how long that will continue under the present management.

Cons

You stand 100% of your shift. Most often work hours are 3 pm to 11pm or 11 pm to 7 am. You rarely (if ever) work 7 am to 3 pm-that shift is reserved exclusively for the store manager. You do a lot of cleaning including a very dirty public restroom. You get secret or mystery shopped constantly by all types of organizations including the police. The health and dental benefits are not that great. You always work all holidays and weekends without any extra compensation. Every store is ran differently and not neccessarily by the rules. There is no employee handbook. Supervisors can show favoritism.

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

· Guaranteed overtime — Night shifts often ran long, and overtime was consistently available. · $14/hour starting pay — Standard for the role, but the overnight differential helped. · Overnight schedule — Good for night owls or anyone who prefers a quieter work environment. · Hudson Oaks PD presence — Police regularly stopped by, which made the late hours feel safer. · Minimal direct supervision — No manager breathing down your neck during night shifts. You were trusted to run the store independently.

Cons

· No training provided — Promised during the interview, never delivered. · Missing cleaning supplies — Brooms, glass cleaner, disinfectant were frequently unavailable. · Poor communication from management — Last-minute schedule changes, full voicemail box, unanswered requests. · Unreliable morning crew — Night shift often had to stay late because morning people didn't show up on time. · Terminated after setting a boundary — Asked to leave at scheduled end time; was fired the next day.
