Pros

I had a good run with the company, secure in the knowlwdge that I had a job, plenty of people to do the job that needed to get done

Cons

They fired all the store directors on the general merchandise side of the store, did not give the asst store directors any more money and basically had them do the jobs that the store directors were doing and the job they were always doing, and cut the work force down, it was a situation for disaster. Many people that were with the company for years were forced to leave . 40 year veterans at the top that were to young to retire quit to go to different comapnies

Pros

Fun Job. Time flies when working. Learn new skills.

Cons

Management does NOT care about you only the work you do. You will be overworked and underpaid. Very little training and they expect you to know everything within a couple weeks. Managers are lazy and will put their work on you! Work place is full of drama and creepy people that HR looks the other way because of 'popularity'. This is not the only location with problems the whole company is a mess. Constantly switching out district managers. Ops were horrible, they would come boss everyone around to try to make the shop look perfect in 1 shift, often making a lot of people miss their breaks and work overtime. Frozen loads and products would go to waste due to miscommunication between managers and no one seemed to ever want to fix any problems. Extremely low morale and high turnover. Stay far away from this place unless you're really sure you're only staying a while.
