Pros

Like being around stuff I love to do Store discount (15%)

Cons

Only a very few people are hired at that $10 an hour full-time status. And their hours are cut below 35 a week to the point that their insurance is affected. Most of us are part-time at just a hair above minum wage. Never know our schedule more than a few days ahead. Very few people work in the store so we have to "cover" for a LOT of departments! Ordering system is a JOKE. They do everything on paper, which takes DAYS. A computer system could have it done in 20 minutes!

Pros

The paychecks are almost always on time and right. I love the customers and I love the co-workers but management is a mess.

Cons

Prehistoric systems still being used for checkout, ordering, and inventory. The schedule for each week is posted at 5pm on Fri. or early on Sat. Don't try to plan your life. They use alot of "Guilt or You should be happy you got a job" on the employees. And management is always in panic mode. "Do it now and do it fast". And many times the chore is done wrong and has to be done twice. We do alot of move it here and move it there. Sometimes items are moved so much we cannot help the customers because we cannot find the items ourselves.
