Pros

RSU Grant, Annual Bonus, Flexible schedule

Cons

This is by far the worst job I have ever had. Fellow HR Pros - the HR Manager position is more akin to an Administrator or Generalist role. Heavy on data entry, investigations, busy work, COVID tracking, and compiling data from individual roll ups. Because of this, you will work around the clock to keep up. There are zero recognition or engagement programs, and if you want to give any sort of recognition for birthdays, anniversaries, etc, you better be willing to pay for it out of your own pocket. Drastic inconsistencies across the board in terms of practices and policies not being followed. Leadership amongst managers (from store manager to regional director) is abysmal. HR Leadership is embarrassing. There are a few select HR Leaders who are trying to change the company direction and culture. Unattainable goals and objectives, heavy (and I mean HEAVY) turnover in all roles, from stores to corporate. Above all, the way this company treats it's associates is disgusting. Zero people of color in executive roles. Few women in leadership roles. Excessive executive rewards (millions in RSUs, bonus, company jet) while people in the stores are making minimum wage. Complete disregard for the safety of 99% of its workforce.

Pros

My coworkers are kind and honest. The work is fun when it can be and some of the customers have a good spirit. When it comes to your break, you can at least afford your snacks/meals cause they're cheap. I find it fun to look into what my customers are buying. Managers are great and modest about their greatness. Would recommend to a friend because there are worser places to work at.

Cons

Some people have been consistently calling out in my area and I am burnt out from people who don't show up when they're scheduled to. If you're a cashier, you only get a ten minute break and it's not enough time for ramen. You'll feel lucky when you get 30 minutes for covering someone else's shift. Corporate is dramatic with some of their rules, like it's considered theft if you don't pay for your food, but you require a manager to be present in order to pay for it, and managers can be busy at times. Some customers can be quite impatient whilst making the line longer with demands, especially if they don't calculate their finances whilst shopping. Some of the technology is old and when it's broken down, I am told that I am not allowed to put "out of order" signs up. Some customers don't understand that they should never pay with a $100 bill early in the morning at any store. If you want to volunteer and do extra work without a payroll, you will be told that you can get written up for it because they have to pay you. The trainings on workday are obvious that they're old by many years and have not been updated to match new policies.
