Pros
-Lots of customer interaction daily—helped me greatly with social confidence. -Learned valuable management and sales skills. -Decent exercise everyday—about 5,000 steps daily. -Had (some) great managers.
Cons
-Constantly understaffed. -Very stressful conditions. A constant fight against high customer and management expectations. -Managers are pushed hard by corporate, and in return push that stress onto you. -Nearly every night I came home exhausted and stressed. Started smoking weed at night to deal with the stress—something I stopped when I left. -Sometimes was scheduled 7 or 8 days in a row against my wishes. -Nepotism. It’s a major conflict of interest to have to raise concerns about employees directly to their parents who are also my superiors. -Before corporate changed to the easy rewards system, managers encouraged us to sign people up for rewards without their knowledge or consent. I (and several others) refused to do that and was retaliated against. Managers did it themselves on a daily basis to meet corporate set goals.
