      Business Outlook

      Pros

      free food and being able to be on my phone, typically flexible hours (unless you work production)

      Cons

      As a high school student, i would come in at 3 and leave as early as 10:30 and the latest time i left was 1 am (ON A SCHOOL NIGHT) they didnt care that i was in high school and i had to quit because i would work 4 weekdays and 2 doubles on weekends. My grades went down and while all this was happening my fellow coworkers that worked registers (and went to my same school) they would leave at 10-10:30 every night.

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      They train well and have the managers who want to be able to take charge let them

      Cons

      Managers are very lazy, I am a manager and take pride in doing so, i hate seeing the other managers just boss the associates around and then they sit back and relax. Also there is a lot of friendships with regional managers with general managers and they do nothing, my Gm works less than 35 hrs per week
