Pros

Can be relatively easy to get a lot of hands-on experience if you work hard and are a go-getter. If you're interested in learning, you can get great experience that will make you more competitive when applying for jobs at the next level Small business atmosphere when working for a franchise

Cons

Customers. The stores attract the "good, bad, and ugly". Be prepared to deal with drunks, irrational people, even potentially violent people. However, I met some truly wonderful people there as well. 24-7. Be prepared to get a phone call at 4am from the overnight worker saying he's sick and has to leave. Good luck.

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
