Pros

Experience - if you can work here, you can work just about anywhere. You are your own boss as most of the time you are working alone in the store. A lot of regular customers.

Cons

Minimum Wage - higher pay is rare unless you stay forever and become invaluable to your boss. They don't want to work at night! You are expected to run the place by yourself. There's a lot to get done and if you have a bad boss, they make it even harder on you. A bad location means you get crazies in frequently. Expect to have something happen to you, from stealing candy to fraud to armed hold up.

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
