Pros

Employee Stock (given after one year) Possible friendly environment Training Staff was awesome

Cons

Zero Assistance after training - Expected to know all of the inner workings immdeiately Hyper "Retail Atmosphere" meaning ZERO work life balance for managers Job typically is your fault if done wrong and others if done right Questioned often if you are not doing everything their way. ZERO chance of getting into corporate unless you work in the store/dairy for 10 years. Some stores are run by dictators. Drama & Cattiness

Pros

(Depending on your manager) you can take the tasks at your own pace and do what feels best, based on what you see. The position I'm in allows headphone use if you're not visible to customers.

Cons

Skeletal shifts are the norm, employee burnout is rampant and unaddressed. Manager turnover is very high at my store, which makes establishing consistency impossible. I get the impression that the conditions for employees vary greatly by store. That said, if you find yourself stuck at a rougher one, your options are to either take the toll to your physical and mental health, or to quit/transfer to a better store. I have personally experienced many legal violations at my place of employment. (keeping the store open and functioning when the workers don't have a bathroom [OSHA fixed that]) (and a few incidents where hours were not properly entered for employees, causing them to work without pay) I have worked here for 4 years without benefits, one year only missing the hour-cutoff for it by an average of 20 minutes. Consistent schedules are very uncommon for employees.
