Pros

Pay is ok, hourly rate, manager bonus, and instant profit sharing (IPS). Good coworkers. Opportunity for lots of overtime. Skill building and promotion from within.

Cons

Very micromanaged, constant fear for job. Management by fear and intimidation pits people/departments against one-another. Directives from senior management change on regular basis. Lots of office politics. Bare minimum amount of employees for company of that size results in being overworked and high turnover. Poor employee morale. Hourly rate is poor, made reliance on bonuses and overtime which is about 1/3 of yearly pay. Behind the times technology-wise (uses DOS-based systems). Poor employee benefits encourages to work while sick (vacation time is also sick time maxed at 20 days after 5 years). Low level of diversity in management positions (few women or people of color in high-level management positions).

Pros

Pay is good, especially with extra weekend pay Staff members are nice and try to help you out

Cons

Management Just below 40hrs a week -avoiding any extra pay- Mandatory eight hour shifts (without being told upon hire that they were mandatory eight hour shifts) Non flexible schedule after it’s made Made to feel guilty for needing a schedule change or needing to leave early or needing to change your availability Won’t let you leave if you feel sick Point system for being a whole second clocking in late Not fully explaining rules when hired causing you to gain points and get in trouble without understanding why and having other employees explain to you what the rules actually are. If you are a woman you will 100% be sexually harassed by random customers working here; I’d says a solid 8/10 customers do it to me per 8 hour shift... so basically a lot of people.
