Pros

Since the store is open 24 hours a day, the schedule is very flexible. Decent employment benefits, Easy to transfer within departments and get promoted.

Cons

Management takes themselves way to seriously and commonly talked down to many of the lower employees. The dress code is unusually strongly enforced.

Overworked and Underpaid

Pros

Lots of challenges and never bored considering how fast changes and updates come.

Cons

Expected to be on call at all times, and pay does not reflect this responsibility. Not always backed up by person you report to. More and more work and responsibility gets heaped on, but the paycheck is only a cost of living raise. My bonus does not reflect my personal job performance, it depends on the entire District performance which I cannot control, so if the District does not make their numbers it doesn't matter how well I personally perform....I don't get a bonus.
