Pros

- Full-time employees receive excellent health care which includes dental - paid weekly - flexible schedule - can grow within the company if you want - raises given based on work performance

Cons

- Experience can vary drastically depending on who the store manager or GM for the area is. -If you have a terrible store manager, work could be hell, and there is nothing you can do about it unless you switch to a different location. - Employees with seniority get the first pick of shifts and full-time hours even if they are terrible at their job. - Job can be monotonous at times
