Pros

Upper management has its perks but the buck stops there

Cons

After 3 years of service and making money for them hand over fist they refused to pay out vacation to me, while I had there it was nothing but stress constantly cutting hours to pay out bonus to store manager and pay for outrageous signage and remodels. Will cut hours in a heart beat and expect 10x more work. Staff turnover is horrible

Pros

They (management) can be reasonable at times, such as with your breaks and scheduling.

Cons

My current management isn't giving me enough hours to be even decently sustainable, yet they have open-shifts available that they could assign to anyone, so why not give those hours to people who are severely underscheduled? If you want your workers to work for you, treat them right and compensate them fairly, and stop expecting them to come in everytime you text them just because someone else called out, maybe you need to give the people who constantly call out less hours because they aren't being reliable, and you need to give more hours to the people who do come to work and get things done, because they've proven to be reliable and willing to come in on their assigned days.
