Pros

Depending on store the people are good. Pay is decent.

Cons

One of the biggest mistakes I have ever made was when I transferred out of a store which I loved into a store that clearly no one knows how to run. I was brought to the new store to fix the department. The plumbing dept I'm in now is in complete shambles. How do you fix something that is already broken? The I get so frustrated and the general managers laugh it off like its nothing. I came from a store that passed all their inventory audits. The store I'm in now the dept. has never passed one. are you kidding me??? Again the management laughs it off. How are you not getting in trouble for that? Then they are pressuring everyone to do at home training. All you get when you are done is a stupid piece of paper saying congrats oh and on top of that you don't get paid to do the training. Now from what I understand that any sort of work related training you have to get paid for it. I know it's just an option but I'm sorry I have better things to do with my time than to do training at home I mean come on seriously. I work 50-55hrs a week 4 days closing then be at work at 630 am yeah I'm exhausted. 10-12 hr shifts almost everyday.

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.
