Pros

They pay is good, and you sometimes get to work with great employees.

Cons

They change your schedule almost 3 times a week without telling you. They will say whatever they want to get you to do what they want you to do. Communication in this company is a joke. They do not move people up. They would rather hire someone else who makes way more than you and then they expect you to train them. They try to write you up for everything, even if you didnt do it, If you are missing hours from your check it will take months to get them, if you even get them back. Hours are never about the same. Sometimes as a full time employee you will have about 35 the next week they will only give you 21. They assign you multiple tasks that take a while to do and expect you to do all of them, recover the store, and do the deposit.

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.
