Pros

working with the public isn't to bad, depending on where your store is located.

Cons

they work you to death, lucky to get a break of any kind, the District Managers all suck and i feel are born from pods, the company does not care about ANY of its employees at all, they expect more than the 2 people on duty can do, there is only 2 people on duty at any one time (one manager and one cashire), their pay rate sucks and trying to get a raise is almost impossible,

Pros

You have an opportunity to create good good relationships with your customers.

Cons

There is no work life balance. If you’re a store manager you’re expected to be there 24/7 if necessary. You’re also salary, so you’re paid for a flat 40 hours but required to schedule yourself for a minimum of 48 hours. No holiday pay, no overtime. You have access to two types of bonuses but they’re IF you qualify for them. You get little to no support from upper management and constantly told you’re not doing enough. They don’t care if you’re having staffing issues and still expect you to get the truck completely worked in 2 days and the store to be 100% recovered daily, even if you’re alone. Then they’ll either look for ways to write you up to terminate you or push you until you quit.
