Management
Advice
Have thick skin, it gets rough and overwhelming sometimes. With all customer service jobs working with the public is rocky, but this particular location takes the cake. The customers are one of the worst things about this place, besides how the managers, and general manager treat their employees.

I really like the flexible hours they offer. Going to school full time makes it hard to work full time, but here i was able to do just that even if it means cutting sleep hours.
What I wish was different
There is not anything i wish could be different. A job is meant to be tough and even if i got tired or irritated, it is what having a job means.
Advice
My advice would be to make the most out of every day and take the experience as a growing and learning experience.
