Pros

- great pay - most likely to make friends with some of your co workers -If you enjoy a job where everyday TRULY looks different this is good…ish

Cons

- if you’re part time they’ll eventually treat you as full time or no time, I was on a 20h contract — some months I’d be on 35-40 hours some I’d be on 4-6 hours. - Not enough good management and they constantly move. I had 5 store managers under 2 years and only one was decent. Shift and deputy managers are a roulette by itself, sometimes you get great ones, sometimes you wonder how they’re managers. -Depending on management, it can be very flexible or not. - you’ll be picking up slack from everyone else if you’re unlucky to be placed with a bad team. -so much more but it is because I was placed with people who were utterly useless.

Pros

Benefits If you work like a robot you will get promoted

Cons

Took away supervisor position and expected same work with less pay. Horrible management the district managers don’t know what they are doing and force you to follow unrealistic goals. They want you to run a store with a skeleton crew and expect the store to run perfect. You will work long hours with no support from management. No work life balance and you will get no training.
