Not worth it

Pros

We get paid every Friday so it can be easy to save up.

Cons

Overwhelming workload for a skeleton crew, constant rule changes that encourage extreme micromanaging, drastically lowering employee morale and motivation. You will be left alone in the store for hours at a time sometimes. Even the Store Manager is alone majority of the time.

Pros

The customers and employees are awesome, the job was great,

Cons

The District Manager and those higher does NOT care about their employees whatsoever.. they will leave u high and dry with only 3 employees to delegate a weeks worth of work and your employees are limited the hours they can work so your basically there from 6 am to 10 pm EVERYDAY and sometimes longer.. No one to hire, substitute, bring from another store just absolutely exhausting trying to pull together a store that had back stock from 5 yrs before Me..
