Pros
Awesome customers on first name basis, even remembering the names of their dogs. Getting to know and become good friends with team members. Team work and chick days. Nice employee discount
Cons
-unsafe and unfair to team members and to customers to have only 2 people opening or closing. When there is a lot of customers in the store it is impossible to do it all and help everyone all at once. Very demanding and high stress - no home and work balance at all. Worst in retail I've seen. Not enough payroll / team members to support if someone calls out. Let alone if there is an emergency in the store and someone needs to go home. You must wait to call someone else in until they can leave. It's either no shifts at all or your busting your butt practically living there the overtime isn't worth it anyways since the pay is so low for the amount of hard work - district managers need to visit store more and work on these issues - customer loyalty will improove if we have more staff to help them get what they need - more staff = better looking store and fuller shelfs - moldy birdseed very uncontrollable since the birds chew through the plastic covers all year round and it gets moister and rains and starts to go rancid. = lost of wasted product and money or angry customers returning smelly gross products - sometimes the shelves can be empty and customers complain about things not being in stock - rainchecks need to be more organized - coming in at 130pm-930pm and having to take my break at 3 before everyone has to leave and then working 6 hours straight. - sometimes no break at all - stores shouldn't be open until 9 since sales drop at 8ish and no one is in the store - we always open the door early so why not open at 6 am and stay open until 8pm instead - not enough training - rude customers being sexist for woman doing 'mainly jobs' makes filling propane feel really unsafe and uncomfortable - not enough recognition for a job well done - pay stinks - they hire high school team members that don't do work at high rates unfair to people that have worked there longer and are in management -
