Pros

The discount. Cheaper health insurance.

Cons

Massive favoritism. Only certain people worked night shifts all the time. Manager is out of touch control freak. Rules about everything changed pretty much every month. Near contact with mold or animal droppings on sellers items. Store is dirty. Managers don’t know how to manage employees. Worked with people who talked all day and didn’t do their jobs. People who worked 15-20+ years were first to go during COVID layoff because they were paid more than newbies.
