Pros

A pretty set scheduled was nice. The free meal every shift was nice, but I gained weight noticeably... WORKING IN A T-SHIRT! Yes! The secret shopper program was awesome. Got about $50 a week in bonuses.

Cons

I went to the open interviews they were having for shift leaders that would work at the up and coming store. I got a call that night with a job offer. They decided to train me at the store with the GM who was scheduled to open the new store. With no training plan in place, I was definitely not ready in time for opening day (like 3 or 4 weeks). The "training" process was horrible as there was no plan in place. Months pass and they (the GM and DM) still would not certify me, even though I was doing a better job than most the other managers... Eventually I get transferred to the training store in the area, four months after I got hired... The GM there put me on register the first day; I know how to run a register as I had been doing it for years. So after my first shift their I gave my letter of resignation. The managers were very hypocritical, telling me not to do something and then they turn right around and do it. Also, the GM turned away a customer because he came in 10 minutes early, but we were completely ready to serve people... And the company trusts her with the store??
