Pros

They are flexible with schedules, if you kiss butt of the scheduler.

Cons

In the store where I work, the supervisor in charge of schedules, only gives good hours to the people who brown nose her. She feels she can do anything without reprisal. Her basic idea is to control with fear, intimidation, retribution. She does not keep information confidental. The store manager lets her do what she wants, because he does not like confrontation. Basically, the store is not a good place to work. If you complain to corporate, they want you fired, not the person screwing up.
