Pros

You get to work with some amazing and very diverse teams. Some managers and staff are fun to work with and very supportive. I got to meet some of my friends through work who I am still in touch with after leaving the company.

Cons

The company expects you to be able to act as a general manager, operational manager and support other departments while you are in the middle of solving a customer issue. And also trying to cover shifts for 5 employees who called in sick or didn't show up to work. The company doesn't provide the departments with enough labour hours in order to run the floor according to their "standards", so the managers end up doing most of the work as floor staff.

Pros

There aren’t many pros, pretty chill coworkers I suppose

Cons

Managment is a mess, filled with people who really don’t know what they’re doing and they have empolyees who’s sole purpose is being on their phones and not working, the “GM” is a wreck and doesn’t know how to properly soeak to people as she believes she’s above everyone, and regional isn’t much better
