Pros

It's hard to get fired as an hourly associate or low-level manager. Medical benefits are inexpensive and high quality. Many locations to move to.

Cons

45 hour minimum mandatory workweek for managers though salary is based on 40 hours. Minimal annual raises (the best managers only yield 2% increases). Company goals in constant flux (Are we focusing on customers or metrics this week?)

Pros

- Unlimited PTO with 401k match is awesome

Cons

- Performance expectations were often unclear or inconsistently communicated, Feedback was reactive instead of timely and actionable. - Leadership quality varied dramatically by manager, with limited coaching or mentorship. - Constant shifting priorities without adjusting expectations or workload. - Psychological safety was lacking, Honest communication feel risky. - Leadership messaging around culture didn't match day-to-day reality. - Process was often valued more than impact or results. - Compensation well below market, w/little flexibility during negotiations. - I felt excluded from key conversations and opportunities that were important to my success.
