Pros

At the stores there are a lot of hard working peple that are all in to do a good job. Most have been there a long time. Pay used to be good but not anymore.

Cons

No work life balance to upper management they say that their most valuable asset is its employees but thats a lie. They only care about making a dollar. They cut hours daily and add work to whoevers hours dont get cut. They are slowly taking away all benifits away. They survey they have is a joke

Pros

They (management) can be reasonable at times, such as with your breaks and scheduling.

Cons

My current management isn't giving me enough hours to be even decently sustainable, yet they have open-shifts available that they could assign to anyone, so why not give those hours to people who are severely underscheduled? If you want your workers to work for you, treat them right and compensate them fairly, and stop expecting them to come in everytime you text them just because someone else called out, maybe you need to give the people who constantly call out less hours because they aren't being reliable, and you need to give more hours to the people who do come to work and get things done, because they've proven to be reliable and willing to come in on their assigned days.
