Pros

Learn a lot and interact with the local community. Basically act like an owner, in charge of the whole store for yourself.

Cons

Was given a store with inexperienced staff. Assistant managers were non-existent. That means you are the only one responsible for 24/7 store, which means calls by incompetent staff at 2am asking for more quarters. Repeatably asked for the opportunity to train an assistant manager but wasn't paid attention to.

Pros

good work value and environment friendly

Cons

The manager would call my phone at 3 am to tell me to unload a truck full of drinks alone, constantly, even though it was never mentioned or docked as pay.

Pros

Pay, Schedule Flexibility and Local Teams - That is where the pro's stop

Cons

Upper Management don't seem to have a clue! They do cuts throughout the company every 2 to 3 years just to hire back/hire new people into roles they eliminated 6 months earlier. They say they value people and their concerns but the majority of workers say nothing about the toxic work environment created by Zone Leaders and above in fear of being singled out. They create positions that don't add value to the field and add more and more work onto field staff. Size of areas continually change - first its 10, then 12, then 16, back to 12 and back to 14+ stores. No consistency in there direction, they train you to manage the whirlwind but the problem is...... they create the whirlwind! Upper Management is a do as I say, no questions asked
