Pros

Flexible schedules is really the only good thing I can think of.

Cons

Too much red tape when it comes to efficiently getting projects done, it doesn't matter if you can demonstrate a better and more efficient way of doing something, you have to do it their way, even if it doesn't work. Rather than fix these issues, management would rather micro-manage things, like how we count down a register, bathroom breaks, and what kind of tape we use. Also, unless the district manager is your drinking buddy, golfing buddy, or unless you are dating someone in management, you can forget about ever getting a promotion. If you are part time, there are no health benefits.

Pros

Have a Strong staff and great customers -for the most part. Don't see my boss but 1-2 month.

Cons

The corp fluff to accomplish something. Setting all these goals and targets then forget about 90% until it's time to do the yearly "anonymous" survey. Then you see which stores had how many surveys done. 🙄 Keep it short and sweet it would be more effective. Have outstanding customer service but don't do anything personal in your store to recognize your customers. Be different but don't show it 😂 Working for Amazon now with no more pay. It benefits the store not us in our paychecks. At times unrealistic expectations with a high volume store and a staff of 4-5.
