Pros

Accrue PTO time faster then you can use it. Management will max out on collection of PTO and never be able to use it all.

Cons

Horrible POS systems, insane expectations with only 24 hour notice and even shorter window for completion. You have to cut your payroll hours for the rest of the district because no one else knows how to schedule there store properly in return have less people to execute tasks. It is not uncommon to be told on Friday afternoon to cut 25+ hours from your weekend schedule even though your own sales are up and payroll is dead on.
