Pros

A lot of different stores. Smocks (uniform) provided. Usually they try to place you within a 10 mile radius of your place of residence. Every year they raise a lot of money for the MDA. Currently they have a profit sharing plan although I don't know how long that will continue under the present management.

Cons

You stand 100% of your shift. Most often work hours are 3 pm to 11pm or 11 pm to 7 am. You rarely (if ever) work 7 am to 3 pm-that shift is reserved exclusively for the store manager. You do a lot of cleaning including a very dirty public restroom. You get secret or mystery shopped constantly by all types of organizations including the police. The health and dental benefits are not that great. You always work all holidays and weekends without any extra compensation. Every store is ran differently and not neccessarily by the rules. There is no employee handbook. Supervisors can show favoritism.

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

Absolutely loved all the customer interactions I had when working there and loved how it taught me how to work with all types of customers.

Cons

Management was usually always weird with the rules. Would say not to do something and when a customer would complain, management would telll me to do it. And also scheduling days off was rough. I would give them weeks/months in advance and they would still try to schedule me. As well as trying to say "if someone robbed the store, the money would be taken out of the paycheck by whom ever was working the shift"
