Pros

Full Schedule and close to my home. My district manaaager is great. This is a great job to move up into low level management to open other opportunities.

Cons

Can be difficult if you or your store didn't get management that was properly trained. My store manager was promoted out of another district and is clueless and doesn't have a clue of how to manage.

Not worth it

Pros

We get paid every Friday so it can be easy to save up.

Cons

Overwhelming workload for a skeleton crew, constant rule changes that encourage extreme micromanaging, drastically lowering employee morale and motivation. You will be left alone in the store for hours at a time sometimes. Even the Store Manager is alone majority of the time.
