Pluspunten
i like the employee discount and my coworkers in the area i work with. people are mostly happy to help and there’s a really nice solidarity in hating our jobs. also, sometimes there’s free snacks.
Minpunten
whoof, this’ll be a big one -horrible management (very strict/serious) -you get interrogated every time you call out -you’re expected to do more than what your wage is worth (i work in a smaller department with >10 people, so while being paid $15.25 i’m expected to run the entire show. whenever you’re unable to finish the extensive list of tasks, you get a stern talking to) -underpaid overworked -feelings of hopelessness -manipulative speech by the interviewer (meaning that they’ll suggest things will happen that never do) -did i mention underpaid? -busy day? you can either focus on guest service and neglect your other duties, or focus on your other duties and risk caught not helping guests. anything less than 50-50 split will have your TL pulling you aside. -expected to do things you’ve never been trained on -i got two days of training before i was working a closing shift on my own -TLs will glare at you for chatting on the clock and then will go and chat on the clock -my TL is useless. literally does nothing but pretend to be busy while leaving the super tedious/boring things for me
