Pros

My boss is so oblivious as to what is going on that I only have to come to work 2-3 days a week and get paid for full time. Leadership as far up as you would get access to, is oblivious as to what is going on. The pay is pathetic considering the competitors compensation but I guess you could get a second job with a more serious company and make up for it.

Cons

If you need any feedback at all about your work (positive or negative) this is the wrong place for you. If you would like to go over your year end review at any point in time....forget it. The management shies away from definitive statements. You can be fired any time for anything and you will be made feel like that everyday. You will be forced to travel unreasonable distances from your home to assist or run horrible stores. Stores are open 24 hours, you are not allowed to have adequate staff to cover call outs so if you like working weekend overnights by yourself in some of the worst neighborhoods you can imagine fill out your application.

Pros

good work value and environment friendly

Cons

The manager would call my phone at 3 am to tell me to unload a truck full of drinks alone, constantly, even though it was never mentioned or docked as pay.

Pros

Pay, Schedule Flexibility and Local Teams - That is where the pro's stop

Cons

Upper Management don't seem to have a clue! They do cuts throughout the company every 2 to 3 years just to hire back/hire new people into roles they eliminated 6 months earlier. They say they value people and their concerns but the majority of workers say nothing about the toxic work environment created by Zone Leaders and above in fear of being singled out. They create positions that don't add value to the field and add more and more work onto field staff. Size of areas continually change - first its 10, then 12, then 16, back to 12 and back to 14+ stores. No consistency in there direction, they train you to manage the whirlwind but the problem is...... they create the whirlwind! Upper Management is a do as I say, no questions asked
