Pros

Ability to travel to multiple sites & help as much as you can until your forced to go off the clock because in the employee handbook it is a gross misconduct for an employee to work off the clock.

Cons

Being threatened with termination for working overtime & off the clock because the only way for anyone to get caught up in there position when all are seriously behind is to work overtime which is denied keeping management playing the control through chaos game resulting in your typical unnecessarily stressed out & disorganized staff (the real backbone of a company) who still come to work with a smile because they love there job (the reason why customers come back) even though they are in management's eyes as just a number to replace.

Pros

Initially got hired as the merchandise manager. Within three months was promoted to Guest Service Leader, with promise of raise. Surprise, not raise. Workload increased, which was expected. What wasn't expected was having to work extra 4-8 hours when general employees don't show up. If there is a food outlet, you are expected to cover that area as well, when their employees don't show uo and food supervisor goes home. Shoplifting is ridiculous. You are also expected to go out into the truck parking and address riff raff and parking disputes, with no regard to your safety.

Pros

Pay and bonuses were ok. Rental car and p card were helpful except for all the changing rules

Cons

ZERO TRAINING BUT MASSIVE EXPECTATIONS. the micromanaging was ridiculous and the work load was crazy. There was rarely any praise, but always criticism- and upper management always conveniently forgot what they had previously spoken about as soon as they knew they were wrong. “Senior” management will get you fired without a second thought before you can all for any accountability from their boss. I’ve never been so disappointed and disrespected.
