Pros

There are nice people that work here and nice customers

Cons

Managers give you the runaround and do not have your back. They give lip service or put you off until you get tired of asking for something. The pay is much lower than other retail employers pay. Like most retailers, they have made billions off their workers but do not compensate them fairly. If 'Mr George" were still here he would be sickened by how greedy his company was.

Pros

Great benefits After first year full time 2 weeks paid vacation. Sick pay 401k Stock

Cons

Issues don’t get handled they get swept under the rug Overtime is very rare Pay is not the best Because it’s a rotating schedule never a set schedule you feel like you’re always there. Barely time for home life and late hours we are talking 10pm and later. The way raises are determined really makes no sense as the amount you get isn’t determined by your bosses that actually work with you and see your efforts it’s determined by people in an office somewhere. Promises of promotions and further trainings that rarely happen. Super hard to move up which is opposite of what gets sold to you during interviews and orientation. I’ve had two situations of harassment there (one being physical abuse one being verbal harassment) nothing was done in either case even though there were witnesses. When witnesses were mentioned I was told not to speak to them about it even though it was ME going through the harassment. I’ve asked repeatedly for a raise as I make less than my counterparts who’ve been there less time and it’s just not an option. A lot of equipment not working. Been waiting 2 years for a rack for example.
