Pros

Most people that work here as crew members are honest and good-natured.

Cons

Managers lie and cheat employees out of earned pay. Managers don't train you properly the first week so they can justify low wages. They don't want you to grow and they don't want to promote you, because it costs them "too much money". I work in San Antonio's new Talley road establishment and many of the managers micromanage employees and put you down and put unnecessary pressure even during peak hours. Store is SEVERELY understaffed. On average days I do two stations simultaneously for 12 dollars even though they said they would pay 14/hr after training. So they never train me anymore even though they were supposed to do that the first week. Bad working conditions, managers will try to rush you at every opportunity and let other workers push you around. Managers never talk to their employees to check up on them individually. They just decide your schedule FOR you.

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.
