      Pros

      Fair Benefits Interact With Many Different People I Have Good Co-Workers, Bad Store Manager You Can Make Customers Happy If You Own Your Department

      Cons

      Management Always Puts A Positive Spin On Things, Reality Is The Better Truth If you always pretend to be doing the right thing the problems never come to the surface. Admit the faults so they can be fixed. Big Disconnect Between Job Performance And Recognition For Your Work They Promote The Wrong People A Lot Of Wasted Talent, Why Do More When You Will End Up In The Same Place It is very hard to motivate yourself to do the best job you can when you realize it doesn't matter. I believe people should work as hard as possible no matter what it is. After this goes on for a few years it wears you out. Management might speak highly of you, but that doesn't mean much. Promotions seem to be based on being in the right position, in the right store, at the right time.

      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.
