Pros

I was hired very quickly the final time I applied for the job. It was only a 7 minute walk from my front door at a time I desperately needed to be working.

Cons

Everything else. High theft store, people walked around picking up food and drinks and consuming them while walking around. They would just leave what they didn't want when they were finished and walk right back out. We weren't allowed to do much about it, not that I would have risked my safety to chase a shoplifter. Employees aren't treated really well. Will work you right up to 39 hrs but never 40 because nobody is full time except the salaried store manager. They will split those 39hrs over 7 days so you never have a day off if you let them.

Pros

You have an opportunity to create good good relationships with your customers.

Cons

There is no work life balance. If you’re a store manager you’re expected to be there 24/7 if necessary. You’re also salary, so you’re paid for a flat 40 hours but required to schedule yourself for a minimum of 48 hours. No holiday pay, no overtime. You have access to two types of bonuses but they’re IF you qualify for them. You get little to no support from upper management and constantly told you’re not doing enough. They don’t care if you’re having staffing issues and still expect you to get the truck completely worked in 2 days and the store to be 100% recovered daily, even if you’re alone. Then they’ll either look for ways to write you up to terminate you or push you until you quit.
