Pros

Lots of good people to meet that worked there, genuine and kind. It was not too hard to jump pay grade too; if you worked full time, you could get your first pay rais in 1-2 months depending on your entering position. Good benifits.

Cons

some of the higher up's that would come into work full time are not exactly fair when it comes to getting full on promotions or even time off. certain jobs max out pay raises at a certain level, so if you invest too much time into a lower position it could make it really hard to get a full on promotion to a better one aside from just the pay raises. The store directore is a harsh man to get along with, he always talks condisendingly towards people he is not friends with. I've tried conversating with him while on break but he is the same way, talking back to you as if you would not underdstand what he is saying in the first place.

Pros

If you have good relationship with your manager and you can trust them to have your back, it is an amazing place to work, and you will find success easy.

Cons

If you have lost the confidence of your manager, or have bad communication with your manager, it makes it very hard to be seen and be successful.

Pros

Job can be fun and interesting Always something new to learn Lots of personal fulfillment as a manager when things go right

Cons

Unsupportive upper management Toxic work culture, unpaid overtime is rewarded and even expected or forced, even to the tune of multiple weeks in a row with no days off when you are salaried. They claim to support work life balance but even the smallest effort to set boundaries is heavily punished. Not paid as much as we should be for everything we have to do and deal with
