Pros
-Flexible scheduling -High position mobility*1 -Store level management were often great, reasonable folks -Work culture is usually positive, lots of good coworkers through the years -Fair pay for what the listed responsibilities are*2 -Fair benefits and a great retirement plan for full time employees
Cons
1 *High position mobility because there's a retention problem, employees get burnt out fast and either quit or adopt an "I don't care anymore" attitude. 2 *Unreasonably poor pay for the actual responsibilities that are demanded if you're found to be a capable employee -Store level employees are at the bottom of the food chain and are treated as such by upper management and by their partnered companies -Can be unreasonably stressful when dealing with partnered companies and walk-in customers, everything that goes wrong is your fault while the things that are done well are rarely given recognition -Coworkers who slack off or refuse to put in the work are rarely punished, the work will be given to someone who actually cares without additional pay or benefits -Upper management is dismissive and disregards or ignores constructive reports/ideas and complaints from those who work in stores
