Pros

You get birthday pay, discounts on alcohol, and usually a fun team.

Cons

I have NEVER held a job where they made me cry and management brags about how many other people they've made cry. The first one i worked at, i LOVED it but i was offered fulltime at a closer location and had to part. Management has changed three times in less than a year and nothing is communicated until last minute. Much of management has been immature or otherwise unable to do their jobs. They refused to hire more people until everyone is spread too thin to get done what they need to, and then DMs act like its everyone's fault. Because they don't want to hire people because they move a people with set schedules get punished and They have young people as management who don't understand adult lives and employees with kids. They also dont keep consistent rules but if they're in a bad mood, they suddenly like to enforce them and write you up. Management is power hungry and will be condescending towards you and say you're breaking rules but then they break the rules too, and often in a way worse way. All the managers attended a "Discipline without Punishment" seminar, and right after that, there were a few employees that got in trouble for something ridiculous and the DM had the security picture with all of their faces displayed at EVERY Specs in the area to embarrass them as a PUNISHMENT. Just like all the reviews have said, it's TERRIBLE communication and no clear set of rules. They punish you for calling in legitimately sick, taking away hours and making your schedule unreasonable

Pros

Laid back chill environment, awesome co workers and nice managers. Employee discount is nice but not great. Job isn’t too laborious and pretty easy if you have good work ethic

Cons

No raises, no proper training, no overtime, only 4 Saturdays a year off, no sitting even if it’s at a computer, flaky co workers who never show up or always call out, high turnover rate
