Pros

Flexible schedules is really the only good thing I can think of.

Cons

Too much red tape when it comes to efficiently getting projects done, it doesn't matter if you can demonstrate a better and more efficient way of doing something, you have to do it their way, even if it doesn't work. Rather than fix these issues, management would rather micro-manage things, like how we count down a register, bathroom breaks, and what kind of tape we use. Also, unless the district manager is your drinking buddy, golfing buddy, or unless you are dating someone in management, you can forget about ever getting a promotion. If you are part time, there are no health benefits.

Pros

Good work life balance, hours are flexible, team members are pretty nice overall, benefits are good, company is stable and job security is good

Cons

Way too many things to remember, they say “you don't have to remember everything, just know where you can figure it out” and thats all fine and good but there are so many places to go and you have to know where, and despite what they say there are things you cant find anywhere and just have to know, so many systems are just confusing and have no real guidelines to follow, and thats not to mention that every manager has there own places where they do it either the fedex way or their own way, and you never know until you get called out for doing something. Pay is also pretty low and the only way to make more is take on management roles
