Pros

Somewhat flexible if your part-time. 20% discount on most things, sometimes they make it 40% off

Cons

Bad management, doesn't pay enough to bring anyone competent in for a long time. Probably the Lowest paying job in the area. Managers are miserable because they are working 80 hours a week and getting barked at by upper management constantly. You get rewarded with higher expectations and more work if you do good in KPIs or tasks. Employees have to complete manager/shift-lead tasks without the pay.

Pros

Not many anymore. Vacation, sick, and benefits are fair.

Cons

Over worked staff because of hour/people reduction. Pay no longer reflects work required for a store to be successful with the staffing model given.

Pros

Pay, benefits, vacation time, discounts

Cons

Schizophrenic management decisions, lack of continuity between markets, more focus on short term shareholder satisfaction than team experience and stability. Total lack of actual care or concern for people. Has zero identity. All the “let’s go!” Culture is just exhausting. The actual culture amounts to three month old leftovers. Include the people at the ground level into decision making. They are the ones working, living and facing it daily. Remember who built the place- the counter folks and the customers they serve. Pizza parties and hats are not how you keep people happy.
