Business Outlook

Pros

I made long term friends working there and I able to pick up shifts from co workers

Cons

They expected one person to run the whole front end while all the team leads would take long lunch breaks and have an attitude when they had to do their job. Very passive aggressive management. People always stole from the store I worked at.
