Pros

Great pay, I negotiated before they set starting Daley's.Now store manager 's start a lot less.

Cons

To many hours , brings down the weekly salary. Suppose to work only 45 hours per week, that's not possible with the work load.

Pros

It's easy to advance in the company if you prove to be reliable and hardworking. Flexible schedule for employees that AREN'T store managers. I feel as though the pay is fair.

Cons

Hard to balance life and work because of the required 6 days a week. The biggest problem is that you're given hardly any hours for the schedule, just enough to barely cover breaks. Not enough to have someone on the sales floor, stocking, and on registers simultaneously. So how are we supposed to complete and follow the 7 day workflow they enforce when we aren't given enough hours for the store to succeed? I repeatedly felt as though I was set up for failure instead of success.
