Pros

Base salary and bonuses are generous and competitive for the market. Total compensations is the kicker! 401K Match, and Employee Stock Ownership Program plop a nice chunk of change on your already competitive salary. The work culture is very good. People are engaged and easy to work with. Work/life balance is fantastic and your managers ENCOURAGE you to take time off. PTO is generous and keeps growing year to year.

Cons

Tough to move up because nobody wants to leave! Internal customer service staggers from department to department. Some managers/associates aren't great at making a partner feel valued. Although this is a con, I feel like every company has issues like this.

Pros

(Depending on your manager) you can take the tasks at your own pace and do what feels best, based on what you see. The position I'm in allows headphone use if you're not visible to customers.

Cons

Skeletal shifts are the norm, employee burnout is rampant and unaddressed. Manager turnover is very high at my store, which makes establishing consistency impossible. I get the impression that the conditions for employees vary greatly by store. That said, if you find yourself stuck at a rougher one, your options are to either take the toll to your physical and mental health, or to quit/transfer to a better store. I have personally experienced many legal violations at my place of employment. (keeping the store open and functioning when the workers don't have a bathroom [OSHA fixed that]) (and a few incidents where hours were not properly entered for employees, causing them to work without pay) I have worked here for 4 years without benefits, one year only missing the hour-cutoff for it by an average of 20 minutes. Consistent schedules are very uncommon for employees.
