Pros
Offers affordable benefits to full time associates.
Cons
Management in the store,as well as the DM and corporate staff, who visit. Rarely make eye contact with associates,let alone ask questions.It is as if we are invisible at our stations.An occasional "how are you"? if you speak first.Followed by a quick dash away,because they really do not care.It takes years to be properly trained because they throw to much at new associates and then ammend the rules at whim.Training is sporatic and unless you are lucky enough to have a mentor.Your advancement (should you care to) is neglected.Your supervisors are too busy trying to keep their own rumps out of the corporate fire.Lots of disciplinary action for minor infractions and the only perk is "associate of the month " wear your jeans day or some pizza.How about extra money for all the extra work?
