Pros

Decent pay for recent highschool graduates. Good schedules. Union. VTO and OT. Incentives. Promotions. Work/life balance. Good people and Good supervisors. Sick pay, vacation, pto, and no fault hours.

Cons

Upper management hasn't got a clue how the floor has to hurdle ridiculous obstacles to meet goals although their awareness and presence on the floor has gotten better. Some upper management do not care how you work overall, if you mess up or do something they don't like ONCE Goodluck moving up and trying to change their impressions. Supervisors are awesome and helpful but not a HUGE difference between them and "Clerks". Will assign tasks and responsibilities that not evert associate has expected from them and refuse to train more associated in this matter and call you a "clerk" but you're also still just a GWA and expected to do their work on top of other responsibilities.

Pros

Decent coworkers, easy tasks, fine hours

Cons

Managers did not cooperate with me in terms of scheduling as a student (i was scheduled 30 hr weeks several weeks in a row despite communicating that I could not work that much because of school) and I felt like I was expected to bend over backwards for awful customers on a regular basis. Also, when district managers would come in for their yearly review the store managers would enact insane policies to make us look good to district that were never implemented otherwise (i.e. we weren't allowed to drink water on the store floor, even if you were on the register for an entire 8 hour shift.) I also did not like being told to continue aggressively pitching the company credit card to customers who had already told me several times that they were not interested, I feel this created a negative relationship between the customer and employees.
