Pros

-Discounts on food, free meals at end of shift. -Flexible hours -Lots of leeway (ie: you can screw up a lot, but as long as you show up, they won't fire you)

Cons

-All the food will make you you fat. I gained around 10 pounds in the four months I worked there. -Most of the managers are incompetent. -A lot of double-standards and favoritism. "Favorite" employees can do whatever they want, while all the other have to slave away to make up for those "favorites." -Little opportunity for advancement. -Input not valued. You must do everything their way, and no other way. -Nobody speaks proper English (this might not be the case in other states)

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.
