Pros

They have Stock sharing, retirement, health benefits, vacation time and sick pay. Full timers are guaranteed 40 hours each week no problem.

Cons

They pay management on a sliding scale so the more you work the less you get paid. I guess that's legal because you're on salary but they make you work a minimum of 50 to 55 hours. They like to promote from within which is fine but a lot of the top management don't have college degrees and it's very obvious they aren't the brightest bunch around .

Pros

decent benefits, stock options (I've been there for almost 2 years, and all I have done is lost money in their stock).

Cons

They will not work with you on your schedule, you close and then open the next day, you pretty much have no time for your family. They brainwash the crap out of you, and make you believe things that will never happen. Like you will make full-time, or you will be a manager soon. In order to make a decent paycheck there you are looking at 5 years of commitment to the company (that means, making hardly any money, and commenting fully, and giving your home life up for the company). It takes a long time just to get full-time, from there you are are waiting a year to take a management test. Then from there you are waiting years to get on a finalist list, to be a manager. Then they give you false hope, like next time I promise you will get full-time, or make the finalist list (and it never happens, because you didn't kiss enough that quarter).
