Pros

-Free coffee -Good team -That’s about it

Cons

-Upper management (District Managers) are dreadful, they yell at staff for minor issues, run the stores using intimidation tactics, and have an overall unfriendly and unapproachable demeanour (And I have worked with numerous district managers in my time at the company) -Long hours for low pay -Not enough time set aside in a day for all the tasks/ admin that they expect you to complete (especially when people call sick and we are understaffed) -Toxic culture -Minimal opportunities for genuine progression -No job satisfaction, hard work goes completely unnoticed -No reward schemes or initiatives, they don’t even set aside a penny for a Christmas meal as a team (unlike previous companies I’ve worked for) -The company has messed up mine and other people’s pay-checks on numerous occasions, and I am still missing money from their incompetence as the issue never got resolved :/

Pros

Not really any. Very easy job though.

Cons

Their full time is 32 hours. Which means being at a minimum wage 40 hour job makes you 4k more a year. But they expect you to work 5 days at cobra. Making it increasingly difficult to hold a second job.

Pros

- You work yourself to the ground, so there's money there, I suppose. Extra money too when you get asked to somersault between stores across town! - Free coffee on shift. Get in there. They will make you sick eventually because the product quality is nowhere near worth the price. - Other free things the company will try to bribe you with.

Cons

- Sexual harassment. - Racial profiling and scapegoating. - Bullying. - Managers who preach one thing but do not comply to their own rules or standards and will scapegoat you to higher management to save themselves. - Managers will only work open and rarely work overtime. There is a very noticeable 'the higher you are, the less you work' ethic. - Unannounced 'Coffe Chats' in the middle of your shift with senior managers, where you literally get cornered into a room, interrogated, accused, humiliated, put on the spot, threatened, and intimidated to respond until you quit. - Did I mention the SEXUAL HARASSMENT? This is from personal and shared accounts. When harassment was reported to management, no further action was taken, and the resolution was to brush it all under the rug. Neither Management nor HR took reasonable action.
