Pros

if your lucky enough to have good employees it can have its moments but...

Cons

Hours are all over the place and upper management doesn't promote based off merit, practically no raises, you feel like you are not real management... your a regular employee but with keys and you risk fighting the bums outside daily. no seriously, not exaggerating, i have been attacked 4 times and once seriously, why? because they were stealing and were asked to leave, had a lady S*** on the floor out of defiance (guess who cleans that up) and almost every time i told upper management or requested a security service i was scoffed at.... just dont do it unless its your only option or you enjoy the thrill of fighting bums

Pros

Most employees were really fun to work with, life/work balance was great, taught me good life skills, good first job for work experience.

Cons

Barely got scheduled (pretty sure my location was way over employed), occasional rude and entitled costumers (especially during the holidays), could get very slow and boring at times, sketchy area, overal, not a great job if you're looking for something that pays well.
