Pros

Good pay/benefits, internal promotes are possible for everyone, donations to local food pantries, tuition asst and grants avail, other perks/discounts, asst for staff in need of various types of assistance.

Cons

The DC's are consistently disorganized,varifying you work daily w/pics from your own phone, if you don't have the right team and those members doing the right jobs that fit the needs of the buisness it makes it hard and you've gotta be there a lot more, can be more than the required 48 hrs a wk, a lot is expected from store managers(team members too, but especially the SM) and the workload is atrocious at times, the benefits are expensive, finding a work-life balance is incredibly difficult, if you are not driven to succeed and don't want to work more than 48 hours a week this is not the job for you.

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.
