Pros

They give you a chance to build your resume. There are a lot of different issues that occur that gives you the experience you need to move on. Diaster Management, labor and payroll, forecasting sales,management in general. There are a lot of different areas that are covered.

Cons

Horrible hours close then open sheduling 2pm-12am then 6am-4pm holidays weekends Schedule is likely to change mid way through the week, so forget about planning all together. Pay is on the low side. Excessive amounts of manual labor. 10 hour days often with short or no lunch breaks. The store managers have almost complete control over your career.

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.
