Pros

Easy job quick hours. nice employees good location( Literally down the street)

Cons

I started increasing my workload without increasing my pay. I tried to say I can't drink water at the register while working in an environment with no AC in Florida's summer heat. After 3 months all of a sudden I wasn't in the dress code but refused to give me clothes and said I had to buy my own from their company store. Said I should work off the clock and other employees were working off the clock with no expectation of pay. If you work more than 40 hours a week you won't get paid for overtime and it won't roll over to next week. All these were backed by "Company Policy". They Wanted me to start working a truck for no extra pay because I was of the Male Gender. (Said I should do it cause I'm a guy)

Pros

My coworkers are kind and honest. The work is fun when it can be and some of the customers have a good spirit. When it comes to your break, you can at least afford your snacks/meals cause they're cheap. I find it fun to look into what my customers are buying. Managers are great and modest about their greatness. Would recommend to a friend because there are worser places to work at.

Cons

Some people have been consistently calling out in my area and I am burnt out from people who don't show up when they're scheduled to. If you're a cashier, you only get a ten minute break and it's not enough time for ramen. You'll feel lucky when you get 30 minutes for covering someone else's shift. Corporate is dramatic with some of their rules, like it's considered theft if you don't pay for your food, but you require a manager to be present in order to pay for it, and managers can be busy at times. Some customers can be quite impatient whilst making the line longer with demands, especially if they don't calculate their finances whilst shopping. Some of the technology is old and when it's broken down, I am told that I am not allowed to put "out of order" signs up. Some customers don't understand that they should never pay with a $100 bill early in the morning at any store. If you want to volunteer and do extra work without a payroll, you will be told that you can get written up for it because they have to pay you. The trainings on workday are obvious that they're old by many years and have not been updated to match new policies.
