Pros

My actual manager at the store was super cool and professional, super flexible on my schedule and would work with me.

Cons

The actual store owners were a different story. At the initial interview told me that I was going to be management, but I wasn’t treated as such. They just wanted somebody to sell. Their services. Never went through management training told me I was gonna get benefits too, just to get me in the door. The job is physical and a lot in your body so you get burned out fairly quickly.

Pros

Co workers are cool but management dislikes when ur friends with your co workers

Cons

If you’re looking for a workplace that respects your time, communicates clearly, and values its employees—this is not it. Leadership is a major issue here. There’s a noticeable lack of professionalism, including instances of being spoken over, having words put in your mouth, and being talked down to instead of listened to. Concerns aren’t addressed—they’re dismissed, often with “attitude adjustment” conversations rather than actual solutions. Work-life balance is essentially nonexistent. You’re expected to prioritize the job above everything else, despite compensation that doesn’t reflect those expectations. Scheduling is disorganized and inconsistent, and even when feedback is offered to improve it, it’s ignored. There’s also a clear disconnect between management and staff. Managers work standard weekday hours with no night or weekend presence, yet still criticize those shifts for underperforming—without offering support or firsthand understanding of those challenges. My final experience summed it up: a conversation with ownership that escalated into raised voices and misrepresentation of my reasons for leaving. I chose to walk out rather than continue being disrespected. There are better places to work that will treat you like a professional, not a problem.
