Pros

The manager seemed nice at introduction, a lot of product and traffic. After 2 1/2 days training I came in to work at the registers etc.

Cons

This was definitely in the top two worst job experiences. I had no information about the massive amounts of lottery tickets, smoking wall items, completely disorganized.

Pros

The store manager I have works with me on my schedule because I’m a single mother and she understands that it’s important for me to have a good balance in life to share time with her and not overwork myself

Cons

Sometimes it’s hard to find quality people to work with. On my first shift it’s great but when I transition into second it’s not so great
