Pros
Relaxed work environment, somewhat flexible schedule (which I would not consistently consider to be a “pro”)
Cons
- Bad pay. Was promised minimum wage and then a $1 increase after a 30 day probationary period. 5 months later, realized this increase hadn’t occurred and talked to the manager about it. He said that he never added it since I didn’t “ask” for it. I have never been expected to ask for the promised and contracted pay from a company - Unsafe. I can think of 2-3 times where someone walked through the front door and straight through the back, likely casing for robbery. One of my coworkers was mildly electrocuted by a game component on the job; she was not sent home or checked in on but sent back to work. - Shifts randomly cut. Day of, night before, an hour before start time. Store would also frequently close early on weeknights. - Passive aggressive text messages on Slack, rather than just speaking directly to someone - Rude clientele. Not exactly in the control of the company, but management was on the side of “the customer is always right”. - Would randomly be scheduled when I had no availability or requested off (and had been approved for those days off). Would get my phone blown up on a vacation I had given 2 months of notice for, because I had been scheduled the entire time.
