Pros

-Great first job, this taught me a lot and I learned how to really interact with strangers - Working with friends is always a plus

Cons

-Management was unprofessional and created drama throughout the store on a daily basis -Management also didn't really do anything ever, they just sat on their phones or watched the associates -Coworkers can be rude, childish, inappropriate, and there was a lot of rumor spreading at my store -My back and feet were constantly aching during and after work -7.75 an hour is minimum wage but when promised a raise, it was usually never given -When I left, I was miserable there and couldn't stand going into work -On call shifts and people calling out constantly made plan making impossible. -Terrible hours, less than 30 a week for part time. I really hated working here.

Pros

You get paid every week.

Cons

• They talk to you like you're stupid. • Their tone becomes more aggressive when you don't brown nose them. • They don't lead by example nor implement any teamwork. • They make daily operations more difficult to complete as a flex. • They disguise their racism towards employees as company policy institution. • They become spiteful when you don't fall in line and take out their frustration on your workers while store management look the other way. • They talk negatively about you in group chats and emails. • They pretend to be inefficient when they don't want to help. • They harass & imprison your workers as soon as you clock out (by eyewitness accounts). • Management will sabotage your evaluation, hire special needs people for critical thinking jobs, & accept underperforming associates from other stores just to save money. • Higher-ups will deny qualified applicants employment while conspiring to hire the children of old classmates who purposefully show up to work late. • Store management will physically assault minors who steal on the premises and act openly racists to shoppers of color.
