Pros

Fellow employees are friendly and will to contribute to overall team success. There is flexibility to accomplish goals and establish policies.

Cons

There is no company culture and there is this constant push to do more on top of the already very full plate. The management does not take time to create a team dynamic where everyone feels a sense of ownership and that their individual contributions are recognized. Career advancement seems limited at best.

Pros

I found no pros unless you include the manager being gone most of day and nobody running the show.

Cons

I ended up working there because they bought out the company I was with for years. I was told to wear street clothes when I come in to do the cooler or work outside "so you cant be forced to run the register." I was then told that I was working on my own time and was not to clock in because I was out of uniform. Are you kidding???? THIS IS ILLEGAL!!!!. The manager's family works in the cooler and puts truck away and they are not employees. Then when they leave they have a big bag of groceries with them that never gets rang up or paid for. I was also ordered to bring cookies from home, made on my own time at my own expense, so they could sell them for the company charity drive. THIS IS ALSO ILLEGAL!!! Charity drive is supposed to be for a short time and benefit the March of Dimes. Charity buckets are out ALL YEAR LONG, AND THE MANAGER HOLDS THE MONEY IN HER BANK ACCOUNT BECAUSE SHE IS NOT SUPPOSED TO HAVE THE BUCKETS OUT OR BE COLLECTING MONEY. She makes $400 a week (saw her paystub) and spends money like Oprah on a mall binge. I called the anonymous whistleblower hotline, and then Got 3 hours the next week after being full time before I blew the whistle. Everyone spends all their time lying for each other, and to each other, and on each other when it suits them. I walked out and hired an attorney.

Pros

The was only one thing that I liked about working here, and that was the fact that I lived very close to the store.

Cons

Lack of administrative support, lack of consistency in job duties, lack of concern for employee safety during power outage in below zero conditions, lack of education by management, failure to listen to employee concerns and effectively take action against workplace harassment, unethical action taken by management in regards to conflict resolution, failure to acknowledge previous complaints about a workplace bully, wrongful termination.
