Pros

the work is local-which is more my doing than management's

Cons

Managers spend too much resources on IT development and building of brick and mortar stores, while insisting that employees make too much. I could not even help a customer out to her car and get 15 minutes of overtime without that being taken off my paycheck. Planning and scheduling is non-existant. Management makes lower level employees angry in turn causing them not to want to work for the company. They call in sick and the schedule must change constantly. Thus costing the company more money and making it difficult for higher level people to perform efficiently.
