Pros

- Medical - Vision supplement plan - Dental - Flexible spending accounts - Short and long term disability - Employee and dependent life insurance - Accidental death & dismemberment (AD&D) - Travel and business travel accident insurance

Cons

Classical lose-lose situation: If you work hard and give 100% to the company, you will most likely lose your job to a teenager who will work for much less. No room to grow career wise so its basically a dead-end job so to speak. Enough power to abuse employees because they work for cheap and has no other alternatives. No consideration for the extra task(s) that is done. The constant overshadowing of upper management.

Pros

In-store management was great, very nice and fun to work with, and was very accommodating when needed.

Cons

I was supposed to be on the official schedule after one week of working, but it took three months to be placed on the schedule, so every day I had to message the store manager to ask if I was needed to work. Once I was on the schedule, I hurt myself outside of work and had to take a day off to go to the doctor (i got someone to cover my shift), After that, I was not on the schedule anymore. I messaged the store manager, the other managers, and the scheduling manager, and after 2 months, I still wasn't on the schedule. I asked the Store manager again, and she said it was my fault I wasn't on the schedule despite the fact that I was messaging everyone I could. I then put my two weeks in because she refused to let me work.
