Pros

If young and just starting a career you will learn a lot. But only stay a couple years and then get out while you can.

Cons

Pay is very low across the board. Benefits are nothing special and raises are a joke at less than the CPI. Very antiquated in attitude as well as technology. Very little regard for the wellbeing of their employees. They "sell" you on how family oriented they are, how employees are important, but it's all smoke a mirrors. The longer you stay the more you see the truth. Expect large rounds of layoffs for higher paid employees ever few years followed by a career fair to bring in younger staff they can pay less.

Pros

Good discount on in house brands

Cons

Toxic management runs rampant at most stores, multiple managers keep their jobs after saying racist or sexist things to both employees or customers. If you’re a good worker they expect you to do the work for your coworkers who are lazy / not doing their job and if you complain you’re the problem. Pay is a joke. Annual raises are never more than $0.20 a year, sometimes as low as $0.07.
