Pros

Brand recognition and good retail experience

Cons

Extreme Hours: Shifts are highly unpredictable. Staff frequently work late hours for store closing and are expected to attend team parties late at night after closing, leaving no time for a personal life.No Work-Life Balance: The schedule is grueling, sometimes requiring 9 consecutive days of work without a proper rest day.Health Hazards: Employees face long standing hours (up to 8 hours on their feet out of a 9-hour shift) with only a 1-hour break. This causes severe physical strain, back pain, and chronic fatigue.Poor Nutrition Culture: There is zero flexibility or structure for proper meal times. Employees regularly skip breakfast to arrive on time, eat lunch as late as 3:00 PM, and have no time for healthy evening snacks.Micro-management: Local management relies heavily on micro-management, creating a high-stress environment instead of a supportive team culture.
