Pros

All of my coworkers were very nice and I liked being at work because of them.

Cons

Every single employee I know hates working there. No one wants to be there. They don't hire enough people so you are overworked and feel like you must go into work even when you are sick because there is no one to cover your shifts. The pay is abysmal. If you get sick during the week of a holiday, even though you have sick time and even though you worked the holiday, you lose your holiday pay. It's a union job but the union does absolutely nothing to help workers. I talked to my union rep once and he was never seen from again. The managers are bad at their jobs. They don't know how to right a schedule, they take advantage of you, and they don't treat you with any respect. They never take responsibility for their mistakes or actions and shove blame and work onto others who can't complain. Corporate is swimming in money while people work for low wages in severely understaffed stores. It is grotesque.

Pros

Job can be fun and interesting Always something new to learn Lots of personal fulfillment as a manager when things go right

Cons

Unsupportive upper management Toxic work culture, unpaid overtime is rewarded and even expected or forced, even to the tune of multiple weeks in a row with no days off when you are salaried. They claim to support work life balance but even the smallest effort to set boundaries is heavily punished. Not paid as much as we should be for everything we have to do and deal with
