Pros

co-worker discount. great exercise, eliminates any need for a gym membership. $3 co-worker meal deal every shift. strong co-worker camaraderie. the products are awesome and fun to sell.

Cons

nearly impossible to break into mgmt no matter how 'high potential' you are considered. draconian attendance policy--9 occurrences (unplanned absence or tardy even ONE minute) & you're out, regardless of how far you drive, if your car breaks down, it's blizzarding outside, death in the family. no exceptions. scheduling is all over the place. shifts range from 4-10 hrs, from 8am-11pm. CLOPENING - when you close and then open the very next day. this should be against labor laws. job performance doesn't mean anything to them. they'll suck you dry.

Pros

free parking, in-house restaurant, cafeteria, lockers, free uniform, decent starting wage , cool products, breaks

Cons

Negativity, favoritism, a us-against-them mentality, use you when they need you, no positive feedback from management, and gossip. Most training comes from asking coworkers and not from management actually training you.
