Pros

I get a paycheck, free TV, I get to be degraded and treated like I’m a low life. Wait, thats not a pro. OK, I have nothing else.

Cons

Management that think they know all, watch management doing personal work on the clock, for themselves and the GM and then complain you aren’t working hard enough, rules are followed only when the ROM, RD, or higher are in the office. Your told “If you don’t like what I’m saying to you, you know where the door is, good luck finding a job in this economy” by Management. Business rules and processes apply to all but management. Management that may have been good techs at one time, but have no idea how to actually manage. The don’t mess with my bonus and or incentive or else attitude. The worse thing, managers that tell each other off (behind the back) don’t show each other respect, FSM’s IM and GM that show no respect for the ROM, RD and higher (unless they are standing there) and do this in front of the employees but demand that you show them respect. No job satisfaction and zero chance for advancement.

Pros

Pay is decent and the company is good to work for, hard work is usually recognized. The local teams are great people to work with, they keep you going.

Cons

Day starts at 6 AM and ends well ??? sometime between 7 and 11 PM. Fourteen hour days are a weekly thing for an FSM, No holidays or holiday pay. Basically you don't exist to your family during the days you work. Everybody ends up burned out. You don't have to fire FSMs they step down or quit on their own within time. Honestly FSS4 is so much more worth it (more pay and far less stress.)

Pros

Every week is different, like being with a teenager thats just learning how to drive stick in a corvette.

Cons

Management not held to employee rules so the entire company suffers to the bad habits of just a few.
