Pros
You can make fast cash. If you really work hard and are willing to work understaffed, and pick up shifts, you can make over 15-25$/hr. But then there is gas and car maintenance . I believe I made just over 18$/hr after gas, but I also almost always said yes to picking up shifts when they asked. Lots of freedom and little oversight when Head Manager isn't in store
Cons
The management is awful. Essent was the manager and he is far to young and inexperienced to be leading. He takes things personally and is constantly putting on a show. There is no accountability and the mroe you do to help, the more you will be taken advantage of. Mon-Fri 10-2 are the best hours to work, but that is also when Essent manages the store and if you don't laugh at his jokes and pretend to be entertained, and don't stick up for yourself or even just demand to receive legal working conditions, he is not going to like you and schedule you off the shift until he needs you. And he will need you in time because the turnover is really crazy high. It is owned by people who run over a dozen JJ and this one is one of the lower producing JJ in the franchise so it gets almost no upgrades in kitchen materials or even regualr maintenance.
