Pros

Working alongside like minded individuals kept me working there for over 2 years. I looked forward to seeing my regular customers in this fast-paced environment!

Cons

Being a slave to a Franchisee has its downsides. No set raise schedule, no one notices a hard worker, and owners trying to pinch every penny (sometimes losing a regular customer in the process) does add stress to this somewhat relaxed environment. Every location varies by the Franchise Owner of course.

Pros

Very flexible scheduling, especially if your manager is willing to work around all their employees. You usually get a 50% discount that you can use once a day too.

Cons

Direct district management at this location does not know how to manage people. He will not really do anything to help or assist until his supervisors look into his stores and what he does. He will shift blame onto any general manager he can, and if any district manager decides you are doing your job incorrectly or you need to adjust what you are doing, there will be little to no support in helping you become a better employee. It really can become a "popularity contest" when you work in store management. If you are a regular employee or shift lead, you won't really have any direct contact with district management.
