Pros

A lot of different stores. Smocks (uniform) provided. Usually they try to place you within a 10 mile radius of your place of residence. Every year they raise a lot of money for the MDA. Currently they have a profit sharing plan although I don't know how long that will continue under the present management.

Cons

You stand 100% of your shift. Most often work hours are 3 pm to 11pm or 11 pm to 7 am. You rarely (if ever) work 7 am to 3 pm-that shift is reserved exclusively for the store manager. You do a lot of cleaning including a very dirty public restroom. You get secret or mystery shopped constantly by all types of organizations including the police. The health and dental benefits are not that great. You always work all holidays and weekends without any extra compensation. Every store is ran differently and not neccessarily by the rules. There is no employee handbook. Supervisors can show favoritism.

Pros

Shift work makes it easier to work multiple jobs. You would have to have other jobs because they're always cutting hours. They usually cut hours at Christmas, just when you need them most. If you don't celebrate Christmas, then you won't mind working every single one. Expect an inspection on Christmas if you work in a company store. Instead of dropping by to cheer up the loyal and hardworking people who are trying to work short-handed, they show up and do an inspection to highlight all the things that they say are wrong and then complain and threaten everyone.

Cons

allow other employees to abuse you work every weekend and holiday forever promised raises regularly but did not deliver no advancement expect you to do the work of 3 people never stop criticizing always cutting the labor budget
