Pros

I received excellent training and enjoyed working with the people in the stores. Most of the managers I worked with were willing to teach as well as support your suggestions and try new things.

Cons

In the 5 years I had worked there I was never in trouble, I received good reviews and was well spoken of by my peers and managers. Then my foot was crushed by a pallet jack hauling liquor and suddenly within the next 6 months I was written up several times and put on a probationary program. I went to HR with my issues they only made it worse because they were just playing cover your butt hoping to keep from being sued.

Cons

This likely comes with the territory, but a significant percentage of the target customer demographic are of the needlessly disrespectful, uncivil, infantile, entitled, and rich variety. They contrive conflict and attempt to pin it on the workers, or needlessly change their order after it has been obtained. It is child's play. Company policy says to never call the police unless they are a threat to safety, but they absolutely do disturb the peace and ruin the experience for others. It doesn't help that there is an expensive (not necessarily upscale in terms of class) drinking establishment in the same plaza.
