Terrible store manager that taught me nothing.

Pros

um.. I guess I got a speedy rewards card. Sometimes I was not yelled at.

Cons

They may start you out as a shift lead manager which sounds great but pays $9 an hour. During the middle of training I was shifted away from the store that I was originally at. The first store manager was great, and I felt like I could learn a lot from him if I stayed there. I end up at a different store in the same district with a manager that is known for being hard on new people. I learned that she already had her favorites and no matter what I did I would be seen as a lesser employee than the cashiers. She eventually had me in a meeting with the district manager (who is also scared of her) and tried to tell him that I just was not getting "it". She had not taught me anything, and would regularly show up late. I told him how I felt and it seemed from that point forward she would do her best to try and force me out. Well it worked and now I am at a job that really cares about its people. Trust me if you want to start in your store and work your way up it may be fine but it is a gamble depending on what store you end up at. I advise you look somewhere else.

Pros

There is not one good reason to work here, other than the fact that I can keep a roof over my head with the minimal pay I receive.

Cons

The hours. The terrible upper management. The lack of concern from higher management. The amount of BS that's swept under the rug to protect the lousy store managers. No life outside of work. And, God forbid you get sick, because you are REQUIRED to call your DM if you are sick. As far as she is concerned, unless you are hooked up to life support with a note from your doctor to prove it, then your butt better be at work making everyone else sick along with you!
