Pros

The coworkers were nice Working as a cashier in the store is not bad, if you are actually given shifts

Cons

For setting up a new store, they hired almost everyone from the interviews and then stopped giving shifts once the store opened. Upper management is disrespectful; the way employees were treated during store set up was shocking. Use intimidation tactics and make you feel like you are of no value to them. Expected to know everything right off the bat with almost no help or training. Then when you make a mistake or ask a question you are treated condescendingly or yelled at. Store set up was dangerous, exhausting, poorly planned and poorly organised.

Pros

Good hours (While I was there) Flexible schedule Nice pay

Cons

A lot of decisions were made not by management, but by higher ups at the company. Our stock was also decided on by some sort of computer algorithm, so we’d often have stuff in the back we couldn’t put on shelves without stuffing them. Overall, I think I got out just in time because former coworkers told me the hours got so bad that people were forced to go on food stamps.
