Pros

My manager and co workers are amazing that is pretty much the only highlight of the job. The only other being the regulars that I and the other girls have come to have.

Cons

There are no full time positions. Though if you are a Manager, Assistant Manager,Opener/Closer you get 30+ hours but are still considered part time. No paid vacation or sick days. Everyone is under paid. Only 50% off select food no more free sandwiches. Working alone for up to 4 hours at night (sometimes more if we are slow). Not that great when you are a young women and you happen to get a rush. Under appreciated for all the work you do. Can't be promoted if going to school (college). Extremely hard to move up in this company.

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.
