Pros

Good rate of pay and first for living wage.

Cons

Constant morning shifts and openings. The chance of having a somewhat normal personal life outside of work is made impossible due to constant shift changes at no notice. Days off are sparse and hardly ever consecutive. The time between shifts is ridiculous have been working until 8pm and expected back in at 5am. Lots of expectations, people put on tills constantly are paid the same as the people who are working incredibly hard to keep the store stocked and clean. Madness!

Pros

Benefits are excellent, most people at the peer level are great. Clear performance expectations. Decent cross functional communication

Cons

Company leadership very European and doesn't quite understand the American consumer even after being in the US so long. Unreasonable expectations are the norm. No upward mobility unless you are European or speak fluent German.
