Pros

If you forget that you are there to make money and think of it more like a high school.... well, highschool without the music class or any classes; just constantly wandering the halls between classes with a hall monitor just around every corner. What I'm trying to say is, I've had a couple good conversations but, this place sux.

Cons

Got a raise from $9 to $10, took 2.5 months to go through. sliced my finger on a meat slicer... no workmanscomp for the "first three days" the workerscomp insurance didn't cover (including but not limited to the 6 hours I spent in the hospital getting surgery on my finger). 6 months in, I got a raise to full time, the only way I know is because the store director shook my hand and said you are full time now and you get a dollar raise (mind you I worked 40+ hours a week as part time). going on week 5 since that conversation and I'm still at $10/h. bottom line, get out as fast as you got in.

Pros

Decent pay, good bonus for store management, opportunity for advancement if you are ambitious to move up in the ranks.

Cons

Overworked, sales and labor budgets unrealistic, a lot of long term dead weight through the ranks making more then some assistant store managers and doing little work. Work on average 70 hours a week and salaried, not enough time to get everything done which corporate asks. They tell you to spend more time on the sales floor then push more and more mandatory paper work on you... Lately, no autonomy at store level, you pay us to manage, but only want monkeys.

Pros

Customers were nice to talk to and deal with because I worked in a decent area.

Cons

Overworked. The Managers would generally get upset with their employees if they called in sick, stating many times that they can still come in or that they don't sound sick. Low wages.
