Pros

-Employees get automatic raises throughout the year -Employees are offered a reward program after 3 months that gives back a percentage of the hours they worked in a given quarter; the percentage level is based on certain standards across the store -Certain part time positions are given 40+ hours -Business is run like a union without a union; overtime is given for 8+ hours in the day or 40+ hours in the week -Employees who work over a year receive 1 week paid vacation -Employees receive a discount card and special offers around the holidays -Store rewards employees for meeting sales goals or in celebrating holidays with free meals

Cons

-Management is very stubborn when it comes to hiring new employees; they'd rather work the current set of employees harder than hire someone new -Some upper management have absolutely no respect for their employees; pure arrogance!! -Stressful work environment when constantly pressured to work harder; some stockers had to run up and down the aisles to meet case counts -Employee recognition is scarce

Pros

Direct coworkers were great to work with. I also enjoyed being left to do my work and not babysat by management.

Cons

Management doesn't know what they are doing. Resets and floor plans were regularly not done properly. The store I worked at has a skeleton crew so I never got help (but was expected to stop everything I'm going to go help other departments/areas). Also meaning good luck to any customers needing help, especially when I was the only person working my area of the store, so when I wasn't there, no one was. Management also regularly disappeared into the offices or were on vacation. Also was terminated for reasons outside my control even though I was told they look at the reasons for attendance incidents before termination. Never got to get the FMLA or accommodation to my doctors before being terminated two days after I requested them. Didn't bother asking for a raise either. I did multiple times and got nothing.
