Business Outlook

Pros

It's an easy job to get for the summer. They do offer a small rewards program for upselling, but it is fairly random (undercover shoppers). They don't always provide managers on each site, when you are "required" to have them, which can put you in a bad spot.

Cons

They have very strict rules, but sometimes expect you to do things outside them on an individual level. They do not schedule you consistently or in any relation to what is promised. They expect a lot of work with no responsibility, but too much accountability.
