Pros

As an assistant manager, my job was hourly, and over time is capped at 4 fours hours. So you can make decent money, and not be a slave to the company. Since the job is not a 9-5 Monday through Friday, you can schedule Drs Appointments and whatever you need without worrying about using sick pay or vacation time. If you're a woman or minority and a good worker, the company wants to promote you. They have a huge desire to see more women and minorities in higher management.

Cons

I never knew what my schedule was going to be three weeks from now- meaning that there is never a set point where I would have a weekend off or a certain day off- it can be random. I also worked all different shift times. It’s hard to make plans with friends because I often worked most night and weekends. I've been sexually harassed and verbally abused by management. District management doesn't care- they'll just shift managers to a different store if the upper management gets too many complaints.

Pros

Work with your schedule if you are in school.

Cons

Low pay. I need to be able to multitask, run the cash register, and operate the Photo Booth lab at a fast pace.

no promotions, no good management, a lot of people in positions that do absolutely nothing, very cliquey, constant checking in 1:1's, no growth in your career, favoritism, toxic environment.
