Pros

Good steady work if you are available to work any time of day or night and ALL weekends and holidays. Neat interaction with people (customers) of all attitudes Great to poor Time never drags (you always have more to do than time to do it in) and you never get bored Clean place to work

Cons

Advancement seems to be limited to medium middle magement Medium to low pay, small to no pay raises, employee give backs in pay and benefit's (for the good of the company) Having to work every weekend and holiday if you want hours Questionable upper managment direction Having to hawk one or more items to everyone who comes in the door (the customers really enjoy hearing do you want to buy a chocolate covered cherry every time they check out HA)

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.
