Pros

co-worker discount. great exercise, eliminates any need for a gym membership. $3 co-worker meal deal every shift. strong co-worker camaraderie. the products are awesome and fun to sell.

Cons

nearly impossible to break into mgmt no matter how 'high potential' you are considered. draconian attendance policy--9 occurrences (unplanned absence or tardy even ONE minute) & you're out, regardless of how far you drive, if your car breaks down, it's blizzarding outside, death in the family. no exceptions. scheduling is all over the place. shifts range from 4-10 hrs, from 8am-11pm. CLOPENING - when you close and then open the very next day. this should be against labor laws. job performance doesn't mean anything to them. they'll suck you dry.

Pros

Good work environment Pay is good Job keeps you busy

Cons

Lack of communication with leadership and coworkers. Leadership seems to have favorites Schedule takes too long to make Seems that there's people who would like the be full time or part time that are temporary right now aren't getting the positions. Feels like nepotism but maybe I'm wrong. Getting responses like you didn't get the job because you didn't answer your interview questions right just seems unnecessary The amount of drama happening is getting out of hand and leadership doesn't seem to care
