Pros

Health insurance, life insurance, paid time off after 6 months, co workers complain about there job which brings everyone down

Cons

Minimum wage, no job security, transfer whenever they want you to leave, no paid holiday, no training on the job, they aren't hiring at all right now because they are losing money, constantly worried about having a job the next morning, after my first 2 weeks there they fired 4 people and erased an entire job title, then people started transferring to other stores willingly and by force, which is what happened to me. I worked there over a month and I was transferred to a warehouse where I didn't feel comfortable working at. I wasn't even on the transfer list and 2 out of the 4 managers there didn't even know about the transfer or has any say in it. And now I'm looking for another job because 8.25 an hour isn't worth this mess.

Pros

There is not a single "pro" to be listed.

Cons

The entire corporate office is beyond ignorant. Completely out of touch with reality, price gouging customers trying to raise profit margins for the non profit. Everyday at any second one call from corporate and there is a change to how everything has to be done, usually causing more issues only to blame people who had nothing to do with their ideas. They don't let the store manager be a store manager.. in fact, I'll sum up everything you need to know in one sentence.. they went as far as to install systems to remotely control the thermostat from their comfy corporate office. Imagine not just the employees but the customers constantly complaining. That is how out of touch with reality they all are.
