Pros

Most of my regular customers.

Cons

No natter how hard you work you never get noticed or appreciated. You get wrote up for things that happen when your off, and done by other employees. Also unless you suck up and brown nose you will never moved up or advance.

Won't admit that they are wrong, even when evidence is proven otherwise

Pros

Saying that you are employed.

Cons

They will find every way to avoid enforcing company policy on managers when it comes to anti-discrimination and anti-retaliation claims, knowing that the manager was wrong for their actions towards employees. They will move managers to other stores instead of properly firing them for numerous HR complaints by other employees, and in some instances, promote a supervisor to another position in order to avoid having to directly supervise that employee. If you are an employee and complain to HR about a supervisor, HR will help that supervisor find a way to discipline you over the smallest instance, in comparison to that supervisor violating federal and state employment laws. Overall, HR along with district and store managers don't have the slightest clue on how to handle employees' personal issues in relation to their professional career, such as with coming out with their sexual identity or trying to receive the necessary training for the job they were hired for when that supervisor chooses to listen to their friends instead of their close supervisor and using the schedule as a weapon.

Pros

My manager tries to work with me, being flexible with my schedule. Requested days off are usually a guarentee, within reason.

Cons

There are never enough hours given to produce the amount of work desired by company. Even running full speed all day, they do not take in account that we are human beings not robots working for them.
