Pros

none to speak of at this present time

Cons

Schedules are not posted till hours before new work week begins. Poor examples of store level leadership. Corporate often lacks knowledge of what store level management does resulting in confusion and tension. Store level managers often intimidate employees by predicating their continued employment status on their willingness to participate in practices that go against Corporate guidelines

Pros

Meet many different people and gain a respect for the people who put up with the customer service industry. Also store managers can make really good money through commission bonus

Cons

Low pay, little respect, minimal benefits unless you are store manager or higher. Company/management takes any tips you receive from customers
