Pros

Good pay, good mix of people and no shift is really ever the same.

Cons

Micro management from upper management basically just come and rip your store to shreds tell you you’re doing a crap job and leave. They never tell you to your face though. Also they aren’t flexible with hours particularly over the festive period where they’ve assigned set shifts for salaried managers.

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.
