Pros

Pay was only slightly below average

Cons

Overworked, bosses didn't believe in hiring enough people, worked 16-19 hour days several days in a row, took on thousands of dollars on my personal credit card because company wouldn't issue card, other departments dumped their work onto IT department and never lifted a finger to help with anything, company is run via Excel rather than actual enterprise tools, directors from Ireland make decisions for the USA having never seen what actually goes on. Toxic work culture, zero work-life balance. Avoid if married, have children, or want to study anything. Pay is just average and often below. Be prepared to spend 6 out of 10 hours in conference calls with zero decisions being made. At times, was forced into video conferences while traveling on highways, saw others doing the same, even from Ireland. Insane. No care given away all regarding 5 hour time difference. Not least on my list: Irish attitude came across as toxic, overbearing, and casual regarding breaking OSHA rules and basic work ethics. Senior leadership barely able to run a low end gas station, never mind a multi national billion dollar company.

Pros

Lexington, SC - generally polite co-workers If you can avoid upper management, the job isn't that bad

Cons

Low pay Not enough people for the work Upper management micromanages everything (be prepared to report everything you are doing multiple times a day) Over half the IT department don't know basic IT troubleshooting or repair

Pros

Very hard to think of anything. You get trusted with cashing up tills and running outlets solo within your first week.

Cons

- Working solo 75-90% of your shifts. - Very little support - Management do not listen and then have a go at you for reasons you've already attempted to address before. -Stressful - Exhausting - Staff always coming and going - Very rude customers who do not appreciate that you're working alone and cannot produce fast service. No fault of your own but you get the stick for it. The list goes on.
