Pros

- Wear whatever you want - Flexible hours - Great Discount

Cons

- Conflict of Interest, I noticed people that were besties with management would get promoted over people with seniority and good work ethic - Always hiring new employees vs. investing hours and coaching into employees with seniority - Management Clique, I would notice that the managers would wander to a corner of the store to talk and I would over hear gossip walking by while working and some were “besties”. - Performance Bias, I noticed other employees that constantly wanted to work were favored more hours despite other employees that had second jobs or school wouldn’t get scheduled for weeks at a time despite having a good work ethic. I feel this was in favor of KPI goals.
