Pros

It is possible to work one's way up through the ranks. I knew many people who were able to do this, and I too was in management training while I was working at one of the retail stores. Management training was good overall, but fitting it in to the work day was difficult. I also liked the core values and sense of teamwork that the company wants to instill.

Cons

Typically shifts were understaffed which led to unnecessary stress both for the employees and the customers. We were thus forced to find ways to multitask and get things done without sacrificing on quality. When dealing with perishable foods this is not ideal. Food safety standards must be upheld at all times.

Pros

Direct coworkers were great to work with. I also enjoyed being left to do my work and not babysat by management.

Cons

Management doesn't know what they are doing. Resets and floor plans were regularly not done properly. The store I worked at has a skeleton crew so I never got help (but was expected to stop everything I'm going to go help other departments/areas). Also meaning good luck to any customers needing help, especially when I was the only person working my area of the store, so when I wasn't there, no one was. Management also regularly disappeared into the offices or were on vacation. Also was terminated for reasons outside my control even though I was told they look at the reasons for attendance incidents before termination. Never got to get the FMLA or accommodation to my doctors before being terminated two days after I requested them. Didn't bother asking for a raise either. I did multiple times and got nothing.
