Pros

overall nice people to work with. local customers know you by name . sub depts always willing to help each other out

Cons

total lack of respect from upper management, only care if it affects them. there is less gossiping in beauty shops. demand that you will get into work the day after a hurricane -- to hell with your family or house.

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.
