Pros
Fun work learn new skills interesting place to work Taught me what hard work is Good customer service exposure Safe environment
Cons
-No accountability for associates, Let many workers off the hook with things that were against the rules. This was noticed by all other associated, and encouraged them to also be lazy and break rules, making a team of lazy workers who knew they would get away with things. -managers leave the young kids outside to work alone while they sit inside -low pay for the work being done (almost every place pays $10 an hour now). - Horrible schedules for young worker (worked sometimes 8 days in a row, 8 hour shifts) -8 hours is way too long for some kids to stand on their feet in those conditions. -Poor training on how to handle customer incidents and angry customers - management and corporate workers gave the same "automated" responses to every question and complaint you had - some management members made you feel bad and stupid for the questions you asked -some management members made it an uncomfortable work environment by talking about other associates and saying "sassy" rude comments to associate team members. -lots of managers did not do the weekly jobs that they were assigned to do, leaving lots of things around the location broken and unusable for customers and associates. Things that we were asking customers to pay for never worked, and management knew of these issues. This resulted in workers getting yelled at by angry customers daily. - managers would ask associates to do certain things and punish them if they didn't, and then the managers would get caught not doing them either.
