Pros

Free polar pops Assistant managers get quarterly bonuses Okay hourly pay Some very nice regular customers

Cons

Hours are all over the place. Can't just have the same schedule every week. They will get on you if you even have a minute of overtime. Sometimes you wont even get 40 hours a week. A lot of the time you will have to work alone. If you work third shift you will for sure work alone. Sometimes i have to work alone during the evening and the store gets crazy busy. So when that happens you have to stay on the register for your whole shift instead of doing the kinds of things assistant managers should do. In terms of the company, nobody pays attention to you unless you are a store manager. I have been wanting to become a GM for months and my market manager and the district manager have both brushed me off. I always have somebody getting on me for something i didn't do when we don't have enough people in the store at one time most of the time to really get a lot done.

Pros

There arent any anymore. Horrible place horrible management. Save yourself.

Cons

This is the worst company i have ever worked for. I've been at my store for 5yrs, it was originally a corner store (which was great to work for) and ck bought us out a little over a year ago. They cant get paychecks right, i have to call almost every week to remind them to pay me for my overnight pay, they paid the whole company for half a day at regular pay on a holiday. The benefits are garbage and expensive, they took 1/2 the company's assistant managers bonuses away then took the holiday bonuses away from the whole company. Everyone is miserable and hates their job now. Upper management is completely incompetent (except my first area manager he was amazing) there is absolutely no communication from management to store level including assistant managers, we get in troule for doing or not doing something but noone ever tells us anything so we're all just kind of winging it. Save yourself the headache and trouble and get a job somewhere else!
