Pros

Working with the store managers and Franchise Owners that are engaged in their business is great. You are able to directly influence behavior changes in the stores that drive sustained sales increases and improve their operation which is extremely rewarding. There are some great individuals there that really do care. They are just out numbered.

Cons

District are designed to have 8 stores to a group. I usually had 12, at one point had as many as 14 stores. It is extremely difficult to be effective with that many. Groups are constantly being reassigned and re-structured. Upper management is not engaged in what really happens at the store level. It is about taking care of political allies. If they like you, you are safe regards less of results. If they do not like you, your days are numbered. They talk "Servant Leadership' but do not practice it.

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.
