Pros

i guess the discount? benefits if you are fulltime management….. oh and if you bust your butt off meeting unrealistic goals, they send you snacks!!!! yippeee!

Cons

obviously everywhere you work, you are bound to have a bad seed but when i say my specific location had the worst upper management. to the point i had sales associates crying on a daily basis, threats to call HR weekly, a constant turnover on associates because everybody was afraid to stand up form themselves. when i finally had the chance to get out of that store, the promotion wasnt given to me because i need to learn to “get along with everyone” which basically meant stop sticking up for the bullying of the associates and be on the upper managements side. i couldn’t stand by and watch 16 years old go home crying bc they didnt fold a tshirt correctly and got chewed out by someone who truly wasnt trained properly to begin with. oh and the pay….HORRIBLE. i was an assistant manager and a cashier at mcdonalds makes more than me in my state.

Pros

- Enjoyed working with teens/young adults and building them up into the workforce/ teaching them responsibilities -Policies were awesome, but not always backed by upper management - Always pushing you to be better

Cons

- Upper management did not have equal expectations of stores/ lacked clear communication -PAY, they will pay someone who is hired external far more then they ever will an internal. Doesn’t matter how long you’re there. I was trained from a seasonal, all the way up and made far less than newer peers. They do not see as much value in internals which is so unfortunate for them. Did my 8 years and have a lot of resentment over this.
