Pros

It used to be amazing but went downhill.

Cons

They don't pay management what is deserved. Working 6 days a week 50-60 hours but get denied a raise then fired before finishing out the last two days of their two week notice. Lost vacation time. Treated like an animal by upper management. Emotionally damaging. Slave labor. Not seen as a person through the eyes of an employer.

Pros

They paid me money and I could eat all the terrible Taco Bell food I wanted. Sometimes a customer would pay with a Morgan Dollar.

Cons

Store Manager would scold anyone for being 2+ minutes late, if SWS times weren’t up to par it was the Shift Leads fault not their fault for scheduling just enough bodies and not accounting for newer employees or call-ins, if inventory was off it was whoever counted it last that has a poo-storm to deal with. Local events that make it non-stop orders for hours on end until you close, then you can’t catch up on closing tasks and you don’t leave home until 3 hours after the store closes. I’m 33 years old and worked few different jobs in my day. This is the only job I’ve ever worked that has made me go out to my car and cry while I was able to get a 10 minute break after 6 hours of nonstop orders. But I would get a bonus once a month that could potentially be a max of $150 if I became an omnipotent god. No one on or who has ever lived this on this planet deserves that amount of stress and workload for a $1,000 paycheck with max bonus.
