Pros

flex scheduling and future growth opportunity to advance in the company with proper guidance with in the region and didtrict managers.

Cons

Not enough payroll hours, upper management such as the DM AND RM are constantly cutting budget on the stores so they can pad their pockets. Anyone who has any idea would see this. Raises and bonus incentive to assistant managers. They work just as hard as the store manager or some may work harder. Micromanagement needs to stop!!! STOP MICRO-MANAGMENT.

Pros

Expectations are made clear for employees. Some insurance is available. Good for students or those who want part-time income. Most of the customers are nice.

Cons

Constantly cleaning up after shop-lifters. Rude behavior by store managers. Gossip abound. Everyone is talking about everyone, and it gets old quickly. Pay is not worth the amount of actual work done. Some expectations are not feasible. Management often plays favorites, when enforcing rules and expectations.
