Pros

Decent pay, good benefits, thorough onboarding process. You learn a lot.

Cons

Your buyer and DMM are direct influences on your experience here. Of course they conduct your performance reviews and determine annual appraisals but you cannot review them. Some managers are relaxed and some are micromanagers. If you guys have working styles that clash you will likely be unhappy your stay or feel forced to leave. Sometimes there’s no way to get all tasks done from 8:30-5:30. So a lot of AB’s work off the clock because we don’t receive overtime. Large workloads and unreasonable daily expectations from higher management. Supply chain issues have overtaken all the other responsibilities of the job and encompass most your daily time. Not enough support. Company has DE&I efforts but there are hardly any POC in management. The work environment doesn’t feel racist but it does feel tone deaf.

Pros

All of my coworkers were wonderful. No high school drama. Boss was flexible and understanding, although he always liked it if you said you could work more hours. The employee discount is pretty awesome. The work wasn't bad and rude customers were rare.

Cons

There was pressure to come in even when you were sick. Pay wasn't the greatest; it usually stayed ahead of minimum wage, but by no means kept up with inflation. Visits from corporate often meant a new change in procedures that had been working and demands that were somewhat unreasonable given the constraints of the layout or number of employees available.
