Pros

The staff I work with are friendly and most provide excellent training. The work is easy and time tends to fly by, especially when it's busy. I work both day shifts and closing shifts and will soon be offered the responsibility to open the store. Pay is decent, at $18/hr (I'm 20).

Cons

Some job responsibilities can be difficult to grasp at first, especially if you haven't received top-quality training. Some customers can be rude and will blame you for issues outside of your control. You may have to work with people you don't like. Whether or not your work/life balance is good depends entirely on how lenient your manager is. We also throw out so much food, including 30-60 loaves of perfectly edible bread each day, which makes me feel really awful and wasteful. Apparently, it's against company policy to donate any of the leftover food.

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.
