Pros
I was paid. - You have the opportunity to increase your hourly wage by $.40 to $.60 once each year, wow in ten years you will make $4.00 more than you do now. Too bad inflation will increase faster.
Cons
Computed generated schedules - No one understands how they work, or truly don't work. Annual evaluation - only one opportunity per year for a raise. Everyone is rated "solid performer". Evaluation is a scam. Managers look for silly technicalities to rate everyone a solid performer. Not enough Associates to get the work done, this makes everyone working look stupid and lazy, when in reality it is impossible to perform our all the responsibilities of our positions. Of course, lack of productivity is quickly and repeatedly referenced on your, and your co-workers evaluations, resulting in everyone receiving the lowest possible raise of $.40. "Thanks a lot buddy, only 365 days until your next evaluation." Everyone is forced to be able to work any time. The computer making the schedule would schedule my anytime from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., i have a family, but that doesn't matter. I might be scheduled to work Saturday 11-7, Sunday 9:30-2, Monday 5-9 p.m., Thursday 7-11 a.m. and Friday 11-7. The next week it could be completely reversed. How can I spend time with my family, or go to school?
