Pros

holiday pay. can’t think of much else.

Cons

MANAGEMENT AND HR. they all go against you. stuff you report anonymously IS NOT ANONYMOUS. they do not close in inclement weather. you get scolded for asking to leave. instead of firing so we can collect benefits, they will purposefully schedule you outside available hours, for 3 hours every other week. you CANNOT take phone calls. even though the managers on theirs 25/8. No matter the importance, you will be scolded and told to clock out if you want to take a call. (Even if it’s less than a minute long) a store can have 20 employees, and somehow you’ll always be short staffed. they give you hours in the beginning, and then take them away and give them to the new new hires. like a never ending circle. being store manager pays not much more than being a BA either. And comes with much more responsibility.

Pros

Decent benefits, good work life balance, great PTO packages

Cons

Hard attendance policy. I provided proof of a terrible thing that happened to my family and doctors notes, they still pulled me into the office and had me sign papers saying it wasn’t approved and threatened my job. This was very stressful. Also for as much change and learning as we are required to do switching from one program to another I believe they should raise Technician pay- order flow and Inventory control all deserve more. Also they had a meeting last year discussing that they justified their pay based on the surrounding market. Inventory control in larger cities make $2-5+ more per hour. It would be a life changing pay bump for many if it were updated. It is also disappointing how many offsite analysts there are, why not employ the locals?
