-Late close (10pm every night)
-Very few Holidays off
-No room for advancement
-Poor management
-Too few people working closing shifts (1 or 2 at most)
-Often ran out of certain stock due to general incompetence of employers and employees

Advice to Senior ManagementTRAIN YOUR EMPLOYEES, and provide some positive feedback every now and again. Stop expecting minimum-wage employees to perform with 120% efficiency when all the feedback we receive is negative. Make your expectations clear, and keep every employee on the same page. Monitor every employee equally, and realize there are problems where they are least expected.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
