Pros

I requested to work in many departments so I would be a more useful employee. I worked for Ingles for 6 years. I started out as a cashier & worked to a customer service manager. I did get pay raises, but didn't get paid what a manager should get.

Cons

The down side is pay scale. Also the customers can be rude & mean. As a CSM you have to manage employees(teens) who just don't care.
