Pros

Opportunity for advancement, consistent job that you'll never risk losing if you do your job. Field consultants who are interested in developing you and teaching you. Potential for bonuses.

Cons

No maximum work hours. Many managers work 6 to 7 days a week and/or 10-12 hour days. Granted this is usually due to not training staff and having control issues, however this culture has permeated the whole market and has everyone feeling like they need to work far far beyond 40 hours per week. Many managers not to take of 2 days at a time. Many field consultants and other managers will tell you that you may need to work 16 hour days until your store is perfect and after that then you can relax.... Unrealistic expectations from field consultants - not in the tasks themselves, usually regarding time lines. It is impossible to finish all tasks you have planned for a day. 24 hours in call. If your staff are not independent, you will receive calls from the store every single day. Turning your off days into another stressful work day. Bonus difficult to obtain in first 3 to 6 months.

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.
