Pros

Guaranteed hours, great for entry level management experience, leadership experience, benefits, paid vacation, teaches you how to work hard, etc...

Cons

Pay is not what it should be for what you have to deal with or do, it is up to the GM's discretion on when you can be fully certified and finally increase pay (which is still not what it should be), lots of highschool kids work and bring drama (you're kind've a baby sitter), management is hard to convince to make changes, and you have to deal with lots of hostility when your employees make a simple mistake.

Pros

In-store management was great, very nice and fun to work with, and was very accommodating when needed.

Cons

I was supposed to be on the official schedule after one week of working, but it took three months to be placed on the schedule, so every day I had to message the store manager to ask if I was needed to work. Once I was on the schedule, I hurt myself outside of work and had to take a day off to go to the doctor (i got someone to cover my shift), After that, I was not on the schedule anymore. I messaged the store manager, the other managers, and the scheduling manager, and after 2 months, I still wasn't on the schedule. I asked the Store manager again, and she said it was my fault I wasn't on the schedule despite the fact that I was messaging everyone I could. I then put my two weeks in because she refused to let me work.
