Pros

Free coffee, fountain drinks and slurpees. The sugar or caffeine are the only way to get through a day.

Cons

Store managers are expected to work 6 days a week. No paid holidays for managers, no personal days for managers and since you are required to work 6 days a week, a week's vacation is 7 days off not 9. They have no benefits you must pay for your short and long term disability, AD & D insurance, etc.. You are hired as a manager, but must figure out how to manage a store that is open 24/7 after you spend 8 hours working the register, cleaning, stocking and in some cases cleaning the landscaping and sweeping the parking lot.

Pros

good work value and environment friendly

Cons

The manager would call my phone at 3 am to tell me to unload a truck full of drinks alone, constantly, even though it was never mentioned or docked as pay.

Pros

Pay, Schedule Flexibility and Local Teams - That is where the pro's stop

Cons

Upper Management don't seem to have a clue! They do cuts throughout the company every 2 to 3 years just to hire back/hire new people into roles they eliminated 6 months earlier. They say they value people and their concerns but the majority of workers say nothing about the toxic work environment created by Zone Leaders and above in fear of being singled out. They create positions that don't add value to the field and add more and more work onto field staff. Size of areas continually change - first its 10, then 12, then 16, back to 12 and back to 14+ stores. No consistency in there direction, they train you to manage the whirlwind but the problem is...... they create the whirlwind! Upper Management is a do as I say, no questions asked
