Pros

Most Associates are really cool people. Once you have worked for them for about 9 months the benefits are great.

Cons

The harder you work the more they expect of you to the point where it's impossible to live up to their expectations. The pay is terrible. Management will make promises but seems they make no attempt to keep them. They heavily play favorites. Hard work often goes unnoticed. In order to attract new hires they start new people at 10 cents more than you. And more than often they will end up with more hours than you. They love to make you take your vacation even if you didn't ask for it. Then when you want it, they refuse.

Pros

Very little contact with customers. Night premium. Small discount on store brand items.

Cons

Extremely low pay. Insurance isn't available until after your first year. Head store manager has no people skills, a very bad attitude and is blinded by personal ambition. This infects the entire store with a glum, sour tone. In general, clerks and associates have a very bad attitude.
