Pros
Had some great co-workers at the time, but this varies from location to location and year to year. Fun, management was stern but fair. There is a 10% discount, but this discount cannot be applied towards video game systems, some electronics, diapers, and baby formula. The discount is good for all other items and is a plus. The co-workers were very close knit, almost a family. Often spent time with them after work. This closeness and openness made work more tolerable and the environment healthier. I believe it also helped with sales by utilizing friendly competition.
Cons
Not a lot of room for growth. One very talented employee had been there nearly a decade without growth, another several decades without growth. There are no health benefits for part-time employees, and management would not hire full-time employees. Many part-time employees were working full-time hours without benefit or extra pay. The pay increase was not very much after nearly 2 years of working and always meeting and exceeding my numbers, making near minimum. Did not adjust hourly wage after minimum wage went up, so I essentially was given a raise to minimum wage 2 weeks before the change. Would not raise upon request.
