Pros

Friendly associates PTO is great, if you have time to use it. If you ask for PTO time off it’s a issue since no one wants to work overnights

Cons

No breaks No one works on overnights where most of the works is. GM doesn’t schedule properly GM Doesn’t allow the AGM to have an opinion or voice on problem solving GM works from 6am to 2pm Monday through Friday and doesn’t take any time whatsoever to know what is going on with the other shifts. Area managers doesn’t know what is going on because they only come in the morning when there is 8 people working, They should make a visit with the GM on an overnight Friday or Saturday when the deli is 12 orders back and only 2 people to make orders, drinks and coffee, plus cook foods, code, dishes and other tasks such as cleaning all the ovens and a truck delivery on 3rd shift every other day.

Pros

(Depending on your manager) you can take the tasks at your own pace and do what feels best, based on what you see. The position I'm in allows headphone use if you're not visible to customers.

Cons

Skeletal shifts are the norm, employee burnout is rampant and unaddressed. Manager turnover is very high at my store, which makes establishing consistency impossible. I get the impression that the conditions for employees vary greatly by store. That said, if you find yourself stuck at a rougher one, your options are to either take the toll to your physical and mental health, or to quit/transfer to a better store. I have personally experienced many legal violations at my place of employment. (keeping the store open and functioning when the workers don't have a bathroom [OSHA fixed that]) (and a few incidents where hours were not properly entered for employees, causing them to work without pay) I have worked here for 4 years without benefits, one year only missing the hour-cutoff for it by an average of 20 minutes. Consistent schedules are very uncommon for employees.
