Pros

It is remote work, there is little supervision (some may see that as a pro, I personally do not), flexibility with hours (convenient to schedule daytime doctor appointments, etc.)

Cons

The company was bought by an equity firm last year who only seem to care about profits and not their employees. I've watched new people be brought in and hardworking tenured employees be pushed out. The culture has gone downhill tremendously and I get no support in my job. The benefits are not competitive, there is little to no training, there is a lack of defined duties & responsibilities so you end up doing some of everything and the workload is unmanageable. The supervisors have no idea how much work you're doing and I only hear from them when there is a problem/something they need from me. I have been promised promotions a few times and each time I got an increased workload but no actual title/compensation change.

Pros

Can usually choose and pick what days and time you work. Provides more freedom.

Cons

Company is constantly changing their expectations and rules, as in literally weekly. Company has started a teams work call once a week and refuses to record it if not available to be on it because you were literally working on the clock. employees are no longer allowed to input admin time. This is time that is used for scheduling, checking the shipping of your stores, emails, checking teams and connect teams apps. Must either do this all without compensation or while checked into a store as a SFM are now required to work on Saturdays without notice and they want you to be available at the drop of a hat with pay less than working at McDonald’s. There is not much room for growth after this position. The next level up would be District Manager and those positions do not come often. Company also laid off a significant amount of people last year, including a quarter if not half of their DM‘s and are planning to do another round of layoffs for DM’s 2026. Do not see much more room for growth after becoming an SFM. Company does not provide a yearly hourly rate increase. Spring of 2025 I was finally given a 50 Cent raise, same as every other SFM and FM. This was the first raise. I’ve been given three years prior to becoming an SFM.
