Pros

- My coworkers are really nice - Customers can be really nice and tend to say how appreciative they are of our employees

Cons

- The pay for the amount of work they expect you to do - Stores are given 120 hrs a week to split between 8 people and the wonder why stock isn’t being pushed - Multiple times throughout the week, employees are forced to work ALONE for a solid 5-6 hrs. If you can’t get stock out, check out customers, and manager an entire store AT THE SAME TIME, you will get talked about and that your “a lazy worker” - The cameras NEVER work and they refuse to add any on the outside of the store (which is why we get robbed so much) - It’s so unsafe, I’ve had many dangerous and unsettling experiences at my workplace and I was told “it happens everywhere, your fine” by management - NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOU, it don’t matter how many years you been there, how hardworking you may be, the company does not care about you not one bit. Your literally just another clog in the money machine making sure they’re well fed while your overworked, overlooked, and miserable. - If you’re a manager? Forget ab it, your gonna basically LIVE at the store with no extra bonuses, acknowledgement, or anything, you’ll literally be a worker they can make do everything and then threaten you with losing your job if you don’t do it.. sounds fun right?

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.
