Pros

I’m only writing this because it’s required and I can’t continue otherwise so no this company is trash.

Cons

Management treats you like crap and you are only needed when they want you to do their jobs. They promise raises and more communication but never follow through. This company is the worst to work for unless you are a big time store manager other than that your better off at McDonald’s.

Pros

You get decent pay for basic work.

Cons

Hardly any room for advancement. Employees that have been working there longer get more leadership privilege and tend to be bossy. You're also stuck scheduled doing one main task throughout each day, except during closing, and this can go on for months.
