Pros

Great Employees who are dedicated to what they do and long term employees Good Pay

Cons

Not really a Christian environment Never enough hours to do all the projects, relays, entire aisle moves, frieght, seasonal sets, etc. Payroll for store structured on a dollar ammount, not on hours budget like other retaillers meaning that many full timers only get 30 hours because they make a high hourly rate. part timers get 6, 10, maybe 12 hours. The rest of the burden falls on the store manager and co manager to complete whatever tasks are left over because they are the only salaried managers. Stores are closed on sunday, but sometimes you still have to work In one year, I got most Sundays, Thanksgiving, and Christmas off, however I only got one..yes one regular scheduled day off. Otherwise I worked 6 day weeks. Pretty much from Mid October through end of year, Store Mgr and Co Mgr pretty much work open to close. From Thanksgiving to Christmas, You go in at 7am and leave around 11pm EVERY DAY. Some nights, myself and Store mgr stayed later. I had to work one sunday during Christmas season with a 102 degree fever and was told I could leave early. I left at 5pm with everyone else. I was pretty much worthless that day.

Pros

Pay is ok, but when you average per hour it is way below min wage.

Cons

Horrible hours. Most days worked open to close. I got to work by 7 a.m. and never left before 8 p.m it was usually at least 10. Only saw my kids awake on weekends.
