Pros

Company vehicle, pay is good, bonus potential

Cons

Intense micro-managing of DMs, everything is a 911, 7 day work week, on 24/7, not even able to take a vacation. Disrespectful RDs, lack of integrity in senior leadership. Lack of follow through. During Covid, everything has been a PR ad. No protection was provided to the DMs, they were asked to do MORE, working upwards of 90+ hours weekly. No consideration for store teams. Compassion from senior leaders doesn't exist. They have no concern for anything except the $$$. And if you don't agree with everything you are told, you put a target on your back, Retaliation and hostile work environment is alive and well in this company . It's dissapointing they can't even follow their own motto of serving others.

Pros

The job itself is easy. The cash register, stocking (especially the totes and dry truck) and cleaning are so simple however there are certain things that make it difficult, although the work itself is not (under the right circumstances.)

Cons

They never have enough people on shift so it’s always difficult to get things done. It seems like all the managers I know from the store I worked at and the surrounding ones are all so deep into drama it made me wonder if I was back in high school. Dry truck always seems to bring far too much and the stores are so little that overstock is a huge issue here. The reason I ultimately left was due to severe mistreatment and some safety concerns I had regarding some past experiences. I am very glad I left and I would not ever go back.
