Pros

Free soda, nice coworkers. Sometimes the managers will allow others to help you with your close if you're behind.

Cons

- Management lacks people skills (focused on money, and their goal is to "balance" labor and profits, which usually results in people getting sent home/called off, and subsequently, under-staffing.) - Any district manager I've dealt with has gotten their point across with pure rudeness. - 95% of the customers are inept/rude. - Long hours (especially for high school students, you're usually stuck closing till 11:30 on school nights!) - Extremely hard to advance to Team II. - Cross departmental training is nearly impossible. - Poor management structure (in the stores I've seen.)

Pros

-They give you free food up to $30 -The benefits are fairly decent -High mileage pay for traveling -Lots of diversity and inclusion

Cons

-The worst upper management you’ll ever work for. Constant micromanaging. Sets unrealistic expectations with zero support or assistance. All while they take long vacations. -Preach “company standard” but flip flop on every decision with no notice -Constant labor crunch. Expects miracles with ~3 people on shift. -Will have to work out of your area with no added pay -Training is hit or miss. If you don’t speak up immediately about something you weren’t taught, they will blame you. -If salaried, will probably have to work over 40hrs will no additional incentive -Customers above all else. They are rewarded for complaints and you will definitely be punished. -Heavy AI usage. Even in biased customer surveys that will count against you.
