Pros

IF and only IF you have a good store your paycheck will be good. Management team is ok unless you get stuck with a crappy district. My district manager is awesome by the way. You always know when youre off. Direct Deposit. You can see your paychecks a day before you are paid. Promotions come quickly and unexpectedly.

Cons

Rotation is 6 days on 2 days off. Average workday is 630-330 including bank deposit if there is a meeting that will be from 4-530 and you may have to do drawer change at 830. Some days you have to do all 3. Drawer change is required every fri and sat that you work so dont plan anything unless you are off. If its the holiday plan on working very hard and working a rotation of 6 days on 1 day off. You are also going to have to come back 4-5 days out the week depending on what day the holiday falls on. If it floods you are working, if there is a hurricane get to work, if there is a tornado you better not be late.

Pros

They have very good pay. The job is different each day. You qualify for three vacations a year when you start working with them. They have a good profit sharing program

Cons

The hours are irregular and days can be long. You are required to be on call 24/7 and return to your store in the evenings several times a week in order to change the drawers out.
