High Responsibility, Low Pay

Pros

Our management team works really well together. We communicate really well and all get along. But this might be more specific to my location.

Cons

They don’t give you enough hours to have ample staff on each shift so you’re left with a lot of tasks to split between too few people. For the amount of work that the manager ends up doing you’re not paid nearly enough and the associates are paid even less. There are no performance reviews, raises, or promotions over time but they expect you to keep increasing sales.
