Pros
Misery Loves Company. If you need humbling this place will bring you down for sure.
Cons
I am a Veteran and I have an Associates Degree. They are a predatory employer. The pay is pathetic for a BILLION dollar company. Store Managers and District Managers are the gutless drones that pursue the almighty dollar above all else. You, as an employee, do NOT matter to them. We were deemed "Essential Workers" during the COVID-19 shutdown. We were not compensated for the hazardous working conditions. They discouraged taking leave and going on unemployment during the shutdown, and they offered me a $1 raise right before the shutdown as incentive to stay. They didn't account for that raise until nearly 4 months later when I quit - hundreds of dollars of earned income unpaid. Unemployment would have paid my ENTIRE YEARS INCOME from AZ in just 20 weeks due to the COVID-19 unemployment compensation. They were not being transparent about coworkers or management that might have come in contact with somebody infected with COVID-19. There were multiple rumors circling about AZ employees/management working at our local stores who were on COVID-19 sick leave for possible infection. The company claimed their policy was to shut down any stores that an employee who tests positive for COVID-19 has come in contact with. None of our local stores were ever closed for quarantine due to COVID-19 exposure, even though we all heard one of the local store managers did test positive for COVID-19. The sexism is also an issue. I watched as all of my managers catered to, coddled, and flirted with the only female employee in our store. Her job was apparently secured through nepotism, in spite of multiple performance complaints and numerous company policy violations, because she happens to be married to a local AZ store manager. If you are seeking an honest employer, look elsewhere. If you are seeking fair pay, look elsewhere. My advice: STAY AWAY FROM AZ.
