Pros

You get to own all the headaches and set your own schedule

Cons

Under the guise of “independently operated” …. They own you and your profits.

Pros

Nearby, always had mandated breaks. Had a close friend death occur and recieved immediate time off and support from one manager.

Cons

Very little training given, minor mistakes at other companies equal write-ups here, inefficient retraining, and 2/3rds of upper management ignoring me and acting immature for my final week because I quit

Thank you for sharing your experience as a Cashier. As you know, our stores are independently owned and operated. We would encourage you to reach out to your local operations team to share more about your experience. Best of luck in your career endeavors.
