Pros

So many *GREAT* people! Can't speak for everyone, but I felt they made legitimate efforts to assure their employees were compensated at appropriate levels with industry studies and what-not. No shortage of things to do, so you won't get bored.

Cons

Company motto should be "do more with less". Repetitive staff cuts over the last decade has cut staff levels to historic lows. In regular day to day stuff this isn't necessarily a bad thing, however, when things break, special projects come up, or to be proactive in addresses improvement needs one can't keep doing the "off the corner of your desk" mentality when it comes to carrying your normal every day work load and address the growing project needs of a company with older back office architecture. Lots of bureaucracy, and the over rigorous project delivery life cycle is far too taxing.

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

· Guaranteed overtime — Night shifts often ran long, and overtime was consistently available. · $14/hour starting pay — Standard for the role, but the overnight differential helped. · Overnight schedule — Good for night owls or anyone who prefers a quieter work environment. · Hudson Oaks PD presence — Police regularly stopped by, which made the late hours feel safer. · Minimal direct supervision — No manager breathing down your neck during night shifts. You were trusted to run the store independently.

Cons

· No training provided — Promised during the interview, never delivered. · Missing cleaning supplies — Brooms, glass cleaner, disinfectant were frequently unavailable. · Poor communication from management — Last-minute schedule changes, full voicemail box, unanswered requests. · Unreliable morning crew — Night shift often had to stay late because morning people didn't show up on time. · Terminated after setting a boundary — Asked to leave at scheduled end time; was fired the next day.
