Pros

hourly pay not too bad job was close to my house MOST of my fellow associates were awesome to work with!

Cons

As far as management goes? This was the worse place i have ever worked! As an associate you get talked down to on a regular basis..unless of course, you are one of the managers "pets". Though i wasn't a cashier i often felt sorry for the CONSTANT pressure them folks had put on them to push them ole scorecards and St. Judes donations. Hours were constantly cut, so having any consistency in a paycheck was just ridiculous. I often heard CSM's plotting bad hours for other front enders that they didnt like. You often got overlooked for your hard work but they sure let you know if you made a mistake.

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.
