A good place to work but not for the long term

Pros

-Lots of gratis (free product) -Bonuses when sales goals are met -flexible hours -great discount

Cons

-No benefits when working FT hours at PT status -Often short staffed due to hard partying employees who call in sick and never get in trouble for it -Daily reminders about how clients aren't happy with service due to short staffing, a rude employee, employees not being available to help b/c they're busy helping others and it is a reflection of the whole team. -lots of robotic cleaning -they will cut your hours without telling you or after the schedule has been posted if they aren't making enough money EDIT** someone just got hired with less experience than I, less responsibilities, and less on the job experience not to mention less time on the job for 62 cents more to START while I just got a raise, she still gets more. Talk about unfairness in the workplace - can't' wait to get out of here and move on.
