Pros

I was offered pretty good benefits considering I was only part-time. It included vacation days, sick leave, holiday pay, dental and medical insurance. Our general manager was fair and would listen to any comment you needed to make.

Cons

I was a cashier and mind you, this may just apply with the store I worked for. People would resign and my managers wouldn't fill up the spots in a proper amount of time nor increase everyone's hours. We had gone from 30+ hour weeks to 20-25 hour weeks so we wouldn't mind working more hours. I guess this was their way to save money, I don't know their logic. But we ended up understaffed which frustrated us cashiers and the customers as well who wondered why the lines are so long. I always felt like there was some management that would throw you under the bus. They had a tendency of filling positions without allowing people to know that a position was open to apply for. They claim they were just filling it for the time being but was going to interview people for the position later.

Pros

Buying at the NEX (Tax free items, Scratch Cards. Clearance, Gas) & Base Access (Gym, Commissary, Amenities)

Cons

immediate supervisors were ignorant in how to manage multiple tasks and people despite working over a decade at establishment. Completely ruined working environment for sales associates if they did not like you.
