      flexible scheduling, but at what cost

      Ft perishable associate

      Pros

      - generally flexible scheduling - learning opportunity

      Cons

      - high-stress environments - many managers favor superiors/customers over employees (regardless of validity) - pay does not reflect work load - many managers poorly intervene/never intervene in unfair scenarios - made to feel guilty for requesting time off (the "flexible scheduling" is a bit of a monkey's paw) - many locations operate with a skeleton crew due to poor amount of hours allotted to stores (one person takes time off, everyone feels it). Inversely at locations with more people staffed, you won't get a full 40 hours.
