Pros

Health insurance and employee discount. DE&I was good.

Cons

Pay isn’t equitable. I mentored someone for a year so they could get promoted to my same job level and they were offered $4k more per year than me when they got the promotion. They were new in the role and I had been in it for four years as a high performer. You start to dislike holidays. You work quite a bit of overtime to get things done that doesn’t fit in the budget for hourly associates.

Pros

Pay is very good once you start getting raises. Weekly pay

Cons

Genuinely everything else, the pay is that high because they have to pay you over 25 just to put up with the awful environment. terrible structure, terrible management, no accountability, cliquey mean girl environment. managers are allowed to sit around and do essentially nothing while supervisors carry 100% of the load and there is no checks and balances to ensure management does the right thing. Corporate and HR genuinely don't care if certain people sit on their butt While others keep the business running. Credit card pushing is absolutely Off the Wall insane. Getting enough credit cards is all the company cares about and managers do not help. Managers are allowed to have no history with getting any credit cards at all and corporate doesn't bat an eye. If you try to speak out about anything that's going on you'll just get fired. Retaliation is allowed and encouraged.
