Pros

You are guaranteed overtime hours

Cons

Horrible hours, mediocre pay, mentally draining. You have to have the right personality to work here. You have to be fully prepared to be yelled at instead of reasoned with, and if you work here full time, don't expect a minute of flexibility. Was working 60 hour weeks, 14 hour shifts back to back. Would work until midnight and be expected to be back in at 6:30 am. They have a point system that works against you, and you have to sign a paper with a manager even if you are one second late on the time clock. I told them in the interview that I needed my wedding off of work, and was told it wouldn't be an issue. Three months before my wedding I verified with them that I would still be able to get those days off and was told no. HR told me I would need to call in sick in order to get it off, and the point system would have had me fired. I quit that day.

Pros

40+ Hours per week of work guaranteed.

Cons

A toxic work environment can lead to termination without warning. Senior management prioritizes their interests and the company’s well-being, often disregarding employees’ rights and legal obligations. HR’s role is to protect senior management and the company, potentially at the expense of employees’ rights. Senior management continually chooses to a blind eye to wrong doing of favored employees, while knowingly prioritizing punishment of lower employees using fabricated policies that aren’t actually within store policy and procedures. Lack of accountability, lack of transparency, and lack of integrity run rampant with in the store and company. Unethical hiring practices, and weaponized incompetence to justify the out right gaslighting of your financial income and incentives. Pay deductions common place.
