Pros

Fuel discount, people perks, consistent hours.

Cons

Short staffed, High call offs, High burn out, Multiple shift duties, lack of corporate support, People in our area are very unreliable and never want to show up or cover shifts leading to the few reliable employees working doubles or split shifts all the time. It's 24/7 so you never truly get peace in life your phone is blowing up at any time of the day. Not worth the pay and I'm definitely not paid the worst in my area but I'll take a pay cut to have some peace of mind at this point.

Pros

Successful Global Retailer due to scrappy leadership and teams. Plenty of opportunity to make a difference.

Cons

Company struggling with size and scale. BIG global company formed by acquisition - but integration is a big challenge. Process is not a strength, manual, scrappy workarounds make it "work". Lots of tech debt. WAY behind on data management. Senior Management finds it hard to spend for technology - and when they do, they focus on external, have not built the internal technical structure and understanding needed. Management can be very scattered, knee jerk reactions. Need a longer term view. New CEO does have a more focused style which will help.
