Pros

Decent environment to work in when I was there however I heard that changed. Summer Fridays

Cons

Very disorganized, the people that work there are not friendly. Bad pay, terrible benefits. The toilets weren’t working for an entire day there and they still had us come into work and had buckets of water by the toilet to flush it… was pretty gross. There was also a rat problem in the office. When we would come into work we have to wipe our desks down to get the rat droppings off of it.

Pros

the clothing quota. Hours are usually regular- expect to work a 7.5 hour day. They are stingy on o/t, but the pay isn't too bad. Expect to start at $12-$15 an hour depending on experience, need, and store location.

Cons

So much of it comes down to the manager you have and your store location. If you're in a city store- be prepared to work long/busy days with other employees, if you're in a suburban area- you'll be busy in waves, however the best J.Mac's to work are in the rural locations. Slow pace, easy going, often work by yourself. Mostly female employees throughout the company, i've out lasted two managers- both have had their pro's & con's. Be prepared to work MOST HOLIDAYS.... half the time its worthless if your store has a history of having $0 days on those particular holidays- they no longer care. corporate is cracking down on any say individual stores used to have. Poor if any health insurance. Almost no opportunity to work your way up.
