Pros

If you have timing down, good opportunity for tips.

Cons

Minimum wage and you have to rely on their "bonus system" to make a living ($1-6 more/hour depending how much you do). They will rather force you out of your job by not giving you hours for 2 weeks rather than firing you, when you ask why you don't have hours you'll get "Sorry, head office cut the stores hours, we just don't have them for you" but when you go in to pick up your stuff they'll have hired someone else. I was never given official notice that I was let go, nor was I ever talked to, to have received any warnings.

Pros

Pay, schedule flexibility, growth opportunities, company events, benefits

Cons

The pay is excellent as long as you’re performance is strong and especially if your flexible with your schedule and full time. But if you’re not a good performer or super part time, this might not be the best place for you.

Pros

After a year of you starting you get annual raises by the Lee/Hill franchise Perkspot is another great factor! they help you find deals like the employee discounts of name brands, companies that will find you discounts on cars or houses, discounts on apparel etc. One big way the company supports you is the Wayne McGlone Fund, a fund that provides you support during major life stresses such as illness and death of a family member as well as making up for lost wages They always have continuing education for both management and skills for our career Clientele in my area are super nice, a lot of blue collar workers and great tips along with that They are flexible with scheduling and fully understand if you have a family emergency, they also offer ways to make up the hours you might have missed when someone covered your shift The franchise I work with and my direct boss our Area Manager, really do care and support my goals to advance my career in the future They also really push you to have a good life balance, encouraging people to take vacation when we don't have high needs

Cons

Scheduling can fluctuate too much for some people but that's the industry that we decided to get into
