Pros

-My schedule could be made as I would like it to be, but I would have to not only absorb 30 hours on the pre made schedule, but also make sure that administrative tasks and goals were met. While absorbing these 30 pre made hours it would sometimes interfere with meetings and other things that were needed for Area Managers to attend. Not thought out well by franchise owners.

Cons

-Spreading your Area Managers to thinnly, and not giving consistant directions. Franchise owners would give direction one day to do things a certian way and that next week at the meeting have no idea why we were leading our stores to do things this way. -Little to no feed back. -No respect for employees or management.

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.
