Pros

Nice customers! sometime :( Thats about it

Cons

Lunches being taken away, terrible backups on the front end because FL does not give us the man hours to take care of the customer properly. What a joke this has become since the changeover. We are supposed to be a customer service oriented store and the customers get the short end of the stick while we work our butts off for minimum wage. Shame, shame shame on you. I hear the complaints daily from customers about pr ices actually going up and not down and taking just as long to check out because there is only 1 cashier.

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.
