Pros

Easy to learn the procedures and how things work. Got along with most of my coworkers and developed friendships, made working fun and enjoyable. Discount on food was a plus. If i needed a day off i could easily get it off by management OR just asking someone to pick up my shift in return for me to take a shift for them later on.

Cons

Time goes by SO slow and i worked in a huge mall where it was always busy. Customers can be very particular and rude. Leave smelling like pickles and sub sauce. Since you get a discount you eat a lot when its slow, be careful not to gain weight!

Pros

Very flexible scheduling, especially if your manager is willing to work around all their employees. You usually get a 50% discount that you can use once a day too.

Cons

Direct district management at this location does not know how to manage people. He will not really do anything to help or assist until his supervisors look into his stores and what he does. He will shift blame onto any general manager he can, and if any district manager decides you are doing your job incorrectly or you need to adjust what you are doing, there will be little to no support in helping you become a better employee. It really can become a "popularity contest" when you work in store management. If you are a regular employee or shift lead, you won't really have any direct contact with district management.
