Pros

Flexible scheduling, easy to manipulate managers, locations, no drug testing, co-workers are awesome for the most part. Lots of parties, causal dating, etc. If it wasn't a fun environment, I wouldn't still pick up shifts.

Cons

At 21 I am more educated than the majority of my managers, 8 managers at one store+lack of communication=grade A entertainment, hours are sporadic (i.e. 18hrs for 2 weeks, 0hrs for 2 weeks), discount@25% is bs when you can scan the barcodes and see what the company paid for them. After a year I went from 8 dollars to 8.16, I took all my managers out all drinks on me! Not!

Pros

- Unlimited PTO with 401k match is awesome

Cons

- Performance expectations were often unclear or inconsistently communicated, Feedback was reactive instead of timely and actionable. - Leadership quality varied dramatically by manager, with limited coaching or mentorship. - Constant shifting priorities without adjusting expectations or workload. - Psychological safety was lacking, Honest communication feel risky. - Leadership messaging around culture didn't match day-to-day reality. - Process was often valued more than impact or results. - Compensation well below market, w/little flexibility during negotiations. - I felt excluded from key conversations and opportunities that were important to my success.
