Business Outlook

Pros

- Sometimes good workers and work ethic - Management can be your biggest ally, - Nights don't have customers so if you have anxiety, don't stress (too much)

Cons

- Unpredictable Truck arrival times - Vacations for others will hurt when you work - Sometimes bad workers - Can potentially stay late if you're full time or part time - May need to come in early for Big trucks or unplanned events - Nobody likes nights, and usually will have burnouts from employees that will likely leave after awhile

Business Outlook

Pros

If you are younger looking for part time work, they can be very flexible with scheduling.

Cons

The requirements will vary store to store, so experiences will not be the same. Corporate headquarters is out of touch.

Good environment, terrible pay

Marketing coordinator

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

People are great, environment makes you want to come to work! Fast paced, never 2 days doing the same thing!

Cons

Terrible pay and not willing to negotiate or advocate for their employees when asking for a raise. Acts like they are the only company with low sales in this economy. Leadership structure is inefficient, always waiting around on somebody who is waiting on somebody else for an answer. Typical corporate America.
