Pros

Coworkers were the highlight of working here.

Cons

Pay, lack of scheduling/staff throughout the day, demand of insider sign-ups and how that is incorporated into your review, 10 minute breaks, outdated time clock system that was frequently down, not being able to actually complete tasks in your department because of lack of staffing on the front end, and expecting employees to work one day per week that they said they were unavailable in their original application and losing points on their review for not being able to work that one day "not having a flexible schedule to meet business demands." Full time being cut to 32/34 hours frequently. Asking for "volunteers" for Thanksgiving and pressuring employees when nobody volunteers.
