Pros

If you are looking for a minimum wage job, where you're likely to get yelled at by customers, this is for you!

Cons

Everything depends on the district manager actually being helpful. The GMs are basically told everyday that they aren't doing enough to make sure every team member is trying to manipulate customers into buying things they don't need, signing up for the Speed Perks program, and maximizing the units per transactions. The GMs are overworked, everyone is underpaid and the stores need to get by with the minimum amount of hours to function, which usually leaves 2 employees in store, most of the day.

Pros

Pay, benefits, vacation time, discounts

Cons

Schizophrenic management decisions, lack of continuity between markets, more focus on short term shareholder satisfaction than team experience and stability. Total lack of actual care or concern for people. Has zero identity. All the “let’s go!” Culture is just exhausting. The actual culture amounts to three month old leftovers. Include the people at the ground level into decision making. They are the ones working, living and facing it daily. Remember who built the place- the counter folks and the customers they serve. Pizza parties and hats are not how you keep people happy.
