Pros
Stock, 401k, benefits. The associates are generally pretty nice.
Cons
Everything else. Favoritism, passive aggression, lack of accountability and other negative traits amongst upper management. At the tinton falls location I had my job threatened because a manager changed my hours without notifying me on a schedule that had already been posted (the general manager, now an area manager). Expected me to work 8 hours then come back 8 hours later for another 8 hour shift often. Regularly worked doubles and ridiculous amount of overtime. As a manager you are expected to work holidays but do not get holiday pay except for Christmas Day. Do not try to call out if you don’t feel safe driving in a blizzard, no one will care and they’ll make you feel bad. Not a bad job if you just want to be an associate. If you act like you care you will be rewarded with doing other peoples jobs without additional compensation.
