Pros

Decent wage for the work

Cons

Store runs on skeleton crew No practical trainijg whatsoever (not enough hours) Upper management clueless to the reality of working in a store Inconsistent/under contract hours Company give an inch and expect a mile Very little protection for staff Managers are expected to be on tills for hours No praise for a job well done, only criticism and admonishment They tell you there are opportunities to advance but it will take you 10 years to luck into a promotion.

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.
