      Pros

      Decent training program, some interesting experiences.

      Cons

      Inconsistent and very low pay for the hours you put in. Capital improvements to the building along with routine maintenence will negatively affect your paycheck. Complicated pay structure with goals that are not consistently attainable. Work week 60-75 hours, with mandatory show ups on weekend nights. Work every single holiday and weekend. They routinely break state laws by taking shortages(cash or food) out of your pay. Break OSHA laws for a safe work environment. Upper management usually poorly educated, stuck in a management style from the 1960's. Weekly meetings where you are personally berated and embarassed in front of your collegues (especially if you're a woman). This list could encompass a dictionary so I will stop.

      Corporate tells us to do one thing and Area tells us to do another.

      Pros

      Good money, 6:30am-3:30pm hours (as long as there aren't any problems), two consecutive days off at a time, good chance to move up if you are willing to play their games.

      Cons

      On call 24 hours a day, have to return to store at 8:30pm three days per week, Area management ignores corporate guidelines in order to meet corporate financial requirements, no POS system.
