Pros

Room to grow within company

Cons

The company caps raises at 10% of your current base pay, so even if you work hard for a promotion you'll likely be compensated far less then if they hire someone brand new with no experience. Hours keep getting cut for part time employees but the company keeps hiring new people instead of giving existing personnel the hours. No rotating schedule to provide weekends off.

Pros

Flexible with scheduling around school and appointments. Drivers worked Monday-Friday, regular business hours. Had a handful of solid coworkers.

Cons

Some regional management and corporate leadership. The company was run very poorly. My store had very little support once our long-time GM left the company. There was a point in time that we had no manager. Base-pay employees were left with access to and responsible for the all the money going in and out. Manager at the time expected us to show up to work in record breaking triple digit days- our store had no air conditioning.
