They accept competitor coupons and allow you to get cash back without purchase.

Cons

Terrible management. Lack of proper training. Never paid what you deserve. Very divided and cliquey. If youre a suck up you'd fit right in and you'll be the "chosen one". Inconsiderate. Lack of empathy. Selfish managers. Extremely high expectations without proper compensation or verbal praise for hard work. Lack of communication.

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.
