Pros

The store manager is very understanding of needed time off, and will work with others needed schedules. A regular crowd, which are mostly very friendly people. Friendly staff.

Cons

Poor management coverage, there are days where I work from our open til close, which would be a total of 14 hours, for someone to have a day off. Poor communication between managers. Staffing hours are stretched thin where senior cashier is entitled majority hours and the so on and so forth. DM's can be very harsh and threatening to store managers.

Pros

You have an opportunity to create good good relationships with your customers.

Cons

There is no work life balance. If you’re a store manager you’re expected to be there 24/7 if necessary. You’re also salary, so you’re paid for a flat 40 hours but required to schedule yourself for a minimum of 48 hours. No holiday pay, no overtime. You have access to two types of bonuses but they’re IF you qualify for them. You get little to no support from upper management and constantly told you’re not doing enough. They don’t care if you’re having staffing issues and still expect you to get the truck completely worked in 2 days and the store to be 100% recovered daily, even if you’re alone. Then they’ll either look for ways to write you up to terminate you or push you until you quit.
