Pros

Great regular customers. SOME good people to work with IF they survive and can deal with management/the toll taken on there body + moral.

Cons

Minimum wage. Was told we were allowed a break BUT they can fire us for any reason and that NO ONE chooses to take there break. You must stand any where from 4 hours to 10 hours with out ever sitting down depending on how long your shift is. Some can't handle this and its sad. The management sits on there butt playing on facebook a lot or goes to the bank aka shopping for hours. If the management does decide to work the counter the management in question will yell at every one for not being fast enough even messing up your sandwiches in the process of doing there one sandwich. There is also no feed back the management just insults you and curses about you behind your back or mostly within ear shot but never directly to you. All you get is a friendly smile and get to hear the management complain about some one else. Management changes their mind like the wind and will mess with your schedule by either A. Loading on to many hours to handle or B. cutting your hours to nothing depending on their mood that day. DO NOT ASK FOR A DAY OFF!!!! Management will show you there calender and tell you to please mark in advance any days you may need off and that they will do their best to accommodate you. This is a trap. You will suffer consequences. These consequences also very like the wind but they will come. It is a very political system. I would say after you have been there for several months to a few years you get used to it but that would be a lie. Unless of course you thrive on drama in which case you'll love this job.

Pros

Very flexible scheduling, especially if your manager is willing to work around all their employees. You usually get a 50% discount that you can use once a day too.

Cons

Direct district management at this location does not know how to manage people. He will not really do anything to help or assist until his supervisors look into his stores and what he does. He will shift blame onto any general manager he can, and if any district manager decides you are doing your job incorrectly or you need to adjust what you are doing, there will be little to no support in helping you become a better employee. It really can become a "popularity contest" when you work in store management. If you are a regular employee or shift lead, you won't really have any direct contact with district management.
