Cons
Management has no regard for the well-being of of their employees. They will not hesitate to over-work you, (short of pushing you into overtime which requires them to pay you more). They will stretch labor as thin as they can so being understaffed is life. If there is a conflict between an associate and supervisor, management will side with the superior every time. There are no guarantees about whether you will be trained. If a customer makes a good report about you, you won’t be told. But if one complains, you will be written up, no discussion about it. If you are being written up, they won’t worry about informing you beforehand. Complaints will fall on deaf ears. Loyalty to the enterprise above all else. Unless you’re high up in the pyramid or have good connections, you will just be another peasant to be exploited. And customer service is the minimum-wage crap show that it always is.
