Pros

Working with the public, consistently there everyones got to eat, flexible scheduling.

Cons

Recently The holiday bonuses have been tooking away and so have the annuel bonuses for salaried workers. Company seems to be spiraling downhill, sales are down stocks are down. Home office makes alot of mistakes we consistantly change thousands of prices every week often change it one day off sale only to change it again back to the same price the next day...huge waste of labor and materials company wide. Stupid budget cuts like the floor strips that get cut every year, makes our stores look like crap. Low wage percentage, means you have to run a store with a lot less labor then the industry average. Cannot see how anyone can make it a career these days, We now have to manage stores to no more then a 3% raise increase across the store and you are told that we can only give a 10% raise to anyone getting a promotion. That means you will bearly get a dollar to be an active manager on duty and be responsible for the entire store. Hard to keep people happy, consistently taking things away and expecting more out of associates.

Pros

Freedom of merchandising decisions, not a ton of pressure from district leadership as long as you are following standard practices

Cons

Not much leadership from store managers who seem to have given up with all of the bad news lately

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.
