Pros

Meeting new people, pay was ok but bonus program was a joke, working with good people in store.

Cons

You have no personal life because your always being pushed to meet unattainable goals, lack of support from upper management, no room to advance after becoming GM, my district manager was always expecting me to do his job going out to the other stores to help with training and stuff, lack of hours to do job properly, long hours and working almost every weekend, barely ever got to use my vacation time and lied to when they let me go.

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.
