Pros

the discount is the only thing good about this job.

Cons

don't bother with looking forward to having a day off.. you won't get one. pay is incredibly insulting, training is a joke, DM's have unethical practices and will ask you to lie for them and then deny later "ever having knowledge" of this, you get worked to death, not enough employees/hours per store, the anonymous hotline is anything but anonymous when the report goes to the person you are complaining about, DM's have their favorite managers so all unethical behavior is ignored. DMs gossip about ALL the other employees to the employees. Too much drama for one place.

Pros

My store manager and team were wonderful! If you make the right moves you can move up the ladder reasonably quickly,

Cons

You can move up the ladder quickly because turnover is so high. Management will lie to you and tell you whatever you want to hear to keep you from leaving. Your experience is entirely dependent on who your store manager is and if they are willing to advocate for you. District management does not care about employees.
