Pros

Somewhat okay pay, grocery on-site.

Cons

Work/Life Balance is nonexistent, the CEO is a pompous jerk who only cares about his bottom line. The "Discount" is a joke, comes out of your pay. Direct management is either too lenient or will passive-agressively micromanage you to death. On top of that all the General Office regularly tunes into the cameras in any given store to even further micromanage, leading to a workplace atmosphere of control through fear that Big Brother is watching and will audit you if they even think you're not doing everything 100% by the book. Heavily LGBT Unfriendly.

Pros

A few of the people are nice to work with.

Cons

A store manager who talks down to employees like they're children (and apparently gets promoted for it). A store manager who acts like employees are idiots for calling him to ask questions. Raises are pathetic. Understaffed because the store manager won't allow enough labor hours to do the job, particularly on Sundays when there's a lot of freight.
