Pros

They have good benefit because it's a soul sucking environment

Cons

- Upper management and buyers are unethical humans that claim their professional and then when you follow their lead they yell at you for being unprofessional. - They're constructive feedback which was told to me and my peers is "you're just not good enough" multiple times. - HR starts every meeting with I'm here to support you and the company and then when you say your problem they tell you how the buyers are right and you're wrong and how you need to figure it out. - Best place in the world if you want to lose your confidence - I've worked for a handful of companies and this one has to be the most disgraceful. - The worlds biggest cheapskates of a company for thats a fortune 500. - Ridiculously old school and everything is almost always broken and dingy inside the offices. - Upper management and the buyers LOVE SECRETS - I was basically the only person of color on my team and got treated differently because of it

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.
