Pros

Most fellow employees were friendly and easy to get along with but honestly just being able to get out of the house and have a job to go to were the only pros at this store.

Cons

Poor management. Never enough help scheduled to cover departments. I was hired as a cake decorator exclusively because I only wanted 2-3 days a week but after I was hired I became the department closer and only given 5 hours a week for cake decorating which made doing my job impossible as I was the only one in the department doing any cakes. I quit because I believe in doing the best job possible and due to circumstances beyond my control I could not keep up with keeping cases and freezer filled as required and was tired of being berated for condition of my cases . I was expected to close and do cakes all in 4 -5 hour shift. I had to pull and refill hot bar, wait on customers, answer phone, finish what day shift left undone, tear down all equipment , clean and put back together, throw out all trash, sweep, mop floors and clean drains, fill outer cases and low spots and do cakes. It was just not possible.

Pros

If you get along with your co-workers, they can play a large role in your day-to-day experience here.

Cons

There is an incredible amount of apathy. Associates who would actually like to make a difference or do a good job can be scoffed at or outcasted. Those employees can often find themselves forced to pick up the slack of their peers or else get chewed out by management who don't take the time to observe and manage effectively.
