Pros

Overtime- if you want time and a half it’s great

Cons

They don’t t care about good workers. They love to say they’re working on issues but they’re aren’t. It’s horrible. Everyday you come in and there’s an issue. They don’t want to pay their best people more and expect you to be okay with below average workers, picking up their slack and be satisfied with what you make while having a smile on your face. Very fed up. You can’t transfer unless they are fully staffed and trained which will never happen because management is a joke and can’t hire for crap. It’s like they opted to hire tax write offs. I legit had a store manger tell me he rather have a bunch of average workers rather than a few excellent workers. Yeah let’s see how that works when your average people don’t show up for their shifts and can’t even do the task they’re supposed too.

Pros

Pay and bonus structure is competitive.

Cons

Work life balance, company has double standards for those wanting to move up. -No consistency, moving target in terms of moving up. Made to feel guilty if you have family challenges that may need your undivided attention in terms to calling out. Once your a manager, they seem to put you anywhere close to your home. One time a manager was placed 57 miles, one way from home (60 miles requires relocation package). When topic is brought up to be closer to home, the response is, "you know this was part of the perks of being a manager".
