Pros

Flexibility and Nice Managers, easy to learn job. Managers willing to work with your schedule. 8 hour shift will get two 15 minutes breaks (paid) and 45 minute (unpaid) lunch

Cons

Many downsides I will list them - Low pay (Texas) $9 starting $10 after 3-6 months $11 Coordinator Full Time $12 Key Carrier Manager Lots of work and responsibilities for low pay rates. Expected to care take responsibility when you get paid slave wages Always call outs and high turnover rate understaffed Have to pick up slack of call outs and lazy workers Lack of communication among management

Pros

Decent coworkers, easy tasks, fine hours

Cons

Managers did not cooperate with me in terms of scheduling as a student (i was scheduled 30 hr weeks several weeks in a row despite communicating that I could not work that much because of school) and I felt like I was expected to bend over backwards for awful customers on a regular basis. Also, when district managers would come in for their yearly review the store managers would enact insane policies to make us look good to district that were never implemented otherwise (i.e. we weren't allowed to drink water on the store floor, even if you were on the register for an entire 8 hour shift.) I also did not like being told to continue aggressively pitching the company credit card to customers who had already told me several times that they were not interested, I feel this created a negative relationship between the customer and employees.
