Pros

It most certainly beats getting up in the morning and not having a place to go to work to (maybe).

Cons

Changes are happening - you decide if the changes are for the better of for the worse. Just using ordering P.O.P. Signage for a store as an example: Old Way: Field Consultant would sent a request to the Market P.O.P. Coordinator, who would then place the order. New Way: Field Consultant creates an online case which is sent to Dallas. Dallas then sends the request to the Market Manager for approval (by the way, the Market Manager is the Field Consultant's Immediate Supervisor). The Market Manager then forwards the request to the Zone Manager for approval ("Zone Manager" is essentially a position that was formerly held by a Divisional Vice President). The Zone Manager forwards the request to the Senior Vice President for approval (there are two Senior Vice Presidents; one covering the Eastern US; the other covering the Western US). The Senior Vice President then sends the request back to Dallas, and the order gets placed. It is very scary to know that a Senior Vice President (who is responsible for 3,000+ stores) has to approve a request for a Slurpee Sign!

Pros

good work value and environment friendly

Cons

The manager would call my phone at 3 am to tell me to unload a truck full of drinks alone, constantly, even though it was never mentioned or docked as pay.

Pros

· Guaranteed overtime — Night shifts often ran long, and overtime was consistently available. · $14/hour starting pay — Standard for the role, but the overnight differential helped. · Overnight schedule — Good for night owls or anyone who prefers a quieter work environment. · Hudson Oaks PD presence — Police regularly stopped by, which made the late hours feel safer. · Minimal direct supervision — No manager breathing down your neck during night shifts. You were trusted to run the store independently.

Cons

· No training provided — Promised during the interview, never delivered. · Missing cleaning supplies — Brooms, glass cleaner, disinfectant were frequently unavailable. · Poor communication from management — Last-minute schedule changes, full voicemail box, unanswered requests. · Unreliable morning crew — Night shift often had to stay late because morning people didn't show up on time. · Terminated after setting a boundary — Asked to leave at scheduled end time; was fired the next day.
