Pros

Great incentives with yearly profit sharing increases; manager bonuses reflective of your duties and how well you've done to improve company standards; depending on location knowledgeable Dept. Managers; best part is they only require a 2 to 4 year degree in an HR field. A lot of great experience can be gained working retail HR as a generalist if you have a lot of patience.

Cons

The HR department at the General Office does not give good assistance and they do not have your back. Most times you are asking other store's HRs for guidance or collaboration. Many Store managers are ill trained or have little ability to lead or run a store. Key requirement in this position, document and report what anyone tells you when it conflicts with your job or doesn't sound acceptable, save important emails outside of the store email provider to refer back to when needed (you may find them deleted later)

Pros

Through out your shift you could get some down time to read a book

Cons

Restricted restroom break two 10 min breaks for a 8-9 hour shift sometimes one 10 min break, have to be at site at 4:45am even when store doesn't open until 6:30 am, in the summer in that little shack there's no air so on 90° days we're out there and they won't provide water, no respect from corporate, some of the guests are extremely rude

Pros

great hours, great people and great atmosphere. Works around your schedule and very accommodating to your needs.

Cons

Works on a point system so if you call off and are sick you are required to get a doctors note otherwise you will get 3 points. 10 points = termination
