Pros

A part-time job with a option for ether a paycheck or direct deposit. Really good associates trying their very best to not get laid off or quit.

Cons

Management is a joke they only care about themselves and the Good Ol Boys. Poor communication to none at all with associates. Good reviews may be faked by the company to look good. A do what your are told and keep your mouth shut environment. In the flowers community so the customers are something else. Very hard fast pace work with and constant pressure to work better. No work life balance unless you have a connection in management. The store location is a revolting door beware of lack of staff. I could spend all day on the cons so just do yourself a favor stay far away!!

Pros

They (management) can be reasonable at times, such as with your breaks and scheduling.

Cons

My current management isn't giving me enough hours to be even decently sustainable, yet they have open-shifts available that they could assign to anyone, so why not give those hours to people who are severely underscheduled? If you want your workers to work for you, treat them right and compensate them fairly, and stop expecting them to come in everytime you text them just because someone else called out, maybe you need to give the people who constantly call out less hours because they aren't being reliable, and you need to give more hours to the people who do come to work and get things done, because they've proven to be reliable and willing to come in on their assigned days.
