Pros

My co-workers are awesome. My team leader is awesome.

Cons

Managers are not in control of their own store, since there is a corporate answer for every move they make. This is sad that even the store manager is micromanaged. I felt stuck in my position and stalled in my learning. I dropped out of management and went back to college to retrain myself in another field.

Pros

IF a good supervisor and store manager, the super will cover your back. THEN your challenge is good customer service and making your supervisor look good.

Cons

IF an evil supervisor, your life will be a living hell . The laws of most jurisdictions forbid an “Operation Anthropoid” solution. The only real solution is termination of BOTH the employee and the supervisor, with hope that Karma will eventually get him/her .

Pros

Fairly relaxed work environment. The managers generally do not micromanage unless it is very busy or they are pressured to (meaning corporate is coming in). You can clock in and out without asking permission ( just make sure you do so at the correct time or you get points!). You can take your lunch breaks and 2 15 minute breaks when you want as well. As long as you get your work done, you should be fine (but that is easier said than done). My coworkers are great though!

Cons

The scheduling is crazy! There are never enough people scheduled on the busiest days which leads to chaos. Then you get in trouble because you cannot complete your task on time. If you are on probation, you will get blamed for everything.
