Pros

The volunteer events at T-0317 are worth putting up with all the hardships of working there.

Cons

You have to work the weekends, mandatory minimums of working 2 nights a week plus weekends. ETL's do not approve of much time off. Management does not inform team members of benefits (such as FMLA, bereavement, and the ability to use sick pay). When team members ask for such things they are denied, leaving them either to steal from the company, quit, or call the hotline, which falls on deaf ears.

Pros

Easy job to get, not bad for a kid out of high school. And if you don't try to advance (or if you luck out and earn the favor of upper management), maybe you can keep your head down and have a fairly easy job. Otherwise...

Cons

Under-paid, frequent hour cuts, last minute schedule changes without warning, very little room for advancement, company enables toxic management, the operations of the business are seriously inefficient, not enough PTO (and favoritism comes into play on whether your PTO gets approved), leaders expect you to get more done with less time, and if you're not favored by the leaders but are trying to advance you may as well put a literal target on your back no matter how good you are at your job or how much respect you earn amongst your peers. Would never return.

Pros

The starting pay is $15/hour. Health, vision, and dental insurance available. 401K with employer contributions. 10% shopping discount with an additional 20% on an activewear brand and some healthy foods. Great leave and disability programs. PTO. Managers can be amazing.

Cons

No one is full-time unless they are a lead, so hours are never guaranteed. So employees can go from 40 hours a week down to 15 hours a week. High expectations for heavy workloads with limited hours. Not much room for advancement. Insurance and leave only available if your average working hours are high enough, which can be difficult when hours are not given. Managers can be toxic and unfair.
