Pros

Holiday bonus but it could be gone any year no warning. Vacaton pay economic stability everybody has go to eat.

Cons

The waste of money that is not given to front line employees . "meetings out of town for a select few cronies ' golf outings " bonuses for store managers and district managers who do none of the work that got the sales or gross profits. Making positions for soon to be wives of regional directors. then making employees go to her meetings to justfy her new job . The promotions of individuals all in the name of diversity not because of merit or job performance. STOP MICROMANAGEING us we have been doing it longer than you have and it is not Brain surgery.

Pros

They (management) can be reasonable at times, such as with your breaks and scheduling.

Cons

My current management isn't giving me enough hours to be even decently sustainable, yet they have open-shifts available that they could assign to anyone, so why not give those hours to people who are severely underscheduled? If you want your workers to work for you, treat them right and compensate them fairly, and stop expecting them to come in everytime you text them just because someone else called out, maybe you need to give the people who constantly call out less hours because they aren't being reliable, and you need to give more hours to the people who do come to work and get things done, because they've proven to be reliable and willing to come in on their assigned days.
