Pros

I started out at 11 an hour. 12 with forklift license. Covid pay bumped everyone up by 4 dollars so now 16. The pay is the only good thing about this place.

Cons

Toxic work environment. Bunch of snakes who talked so much trash on one another behind their backs. It was usually only me and the newer people actually working while the others did very little--which in turn, fell onto others to pick up their slack. My managers sat around on their phones in the back. The GMs were complete knobheads who spoke very poorly to and about their employees and vice versa. When I finally gave up and matched the work ethic of my amazing coworkers who hardly did anything, I was met with a termination.

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.
