Pros

- discount - simple tasks/easily manageable - recovery, talking to customers, the good stuff - the few cool coworkers

Cons

- the few "uncool" ones (including management) that get pissy (for a lack of better words) when you ask questions or ask for help, they cut you off and try to assume what you need because them listening fully to your problem takes up too many seconds when they're severely understaffed - or you get the coworkers who do not bother with a conversation but will just do your job for you aka no training (the cashier lead specifically) - no one trains, esp not the managers. (at all or maybe it was just the cashier position) it wasn't until my 3rd-4th week when another cashier ran through the list of things to do as a cashier when you aren't checking out people (I had been working two days a week atp so why it took almost a month to be "fully trained" idk.) -management and schedule makers will try to pull one over your head and schedule you for more than you asked either by a few minutes or a few hours (I could tell the intention was you either fold and work those hours as opposed to losing your job and them losing a worker, or try and fight for the hours you want- but they won't do it so you end up leaving anyway (and the schedule makers/ managers are grown adults doing this.) perhaps because they get away with doing it to teenagers and other grown adults who are desperate enough bc they have bills to pay every month

Pros

Good pay and flexible hours

Cons

The workplace culture felt highly driven by informalities, which often made it difficult to resolve issues professionally. Management responses to workplace concerns often felt inconsistent, and similar incidents appeared to be handled differently depending on the individuals involved. Employee morale appeared low, and turnover seemed higher than expected during my time there. Lack of support during peak periods and backroom inefficiencies. The work environment felt unsustainable due to unresolved management issues, communication breakdowns, and inconsistent handling of workplace conflicts.
