Pros

- Breaks are great! If you work a 7 hours shift, you get two 15 minute breaks (paid) and an hour lunch (unpaid) - Easy Work (most of the time) - For the most part great staff - PPTO and PTO - 10% off on most goods in store after 90 days of hire date!

Cons

- Drama was a huge issue - One stuck up manager in my store that everyone hated and management wouldn’t do anything about (blatantly broke rules on the daily) - They don’t pay fairly for the amount of work they want done unless you work there for years and years at a management role. - Will not work with you on times (then again, my store was unstaffed)

Pros

None at all, they didn’t think any of this through when they decided to go remote.

Cons

TL/TMs are not on the same page, they lie, never respond to you in a timely manner. You’ll be moved around about 3 times before your in a actual queue. They use you to help out other queues then will be last minute and move you somewhere else. No OT unless they so. They have smart mouths, catch attitudes with you when your expressing your concerns. It’s know use going to any of them about anything because they all respond the same way, script reading. These people sit behind their laptops in meetings or calendar events all day. The reliability with max should not exist. Every day through out the shift there are system issues, crashes, slow sites, like you get through a whole shift without having any issues.

Pros

Half decent money, but they did a lot of shady stuff in the last ten years so no one is making what they should be making.

Cons

*Constantly* changing work policies and methods from one year to the next. Everything new in 2020/2021 has been a disaster so far. Always short handed, supervisors getting laid off and having their pay removed because their raises were higher than the new cap for the lower position they were forced into. New phones they give out to associates still don't even work right. Missing key programs on 'new' system from 2015. Smart system that was supposed to be 100% gone by 2015, still around because the home office wont hire good programmers to make appropriate apps for remaining old systems. Regular associates being forced to take on duties that were once supervisor only. Have been told that associates are now basically department managers. Associates now forced to cover up to 4 departments at once instead of just one. Removed many supervisor positions to consolidate payroll. Now Team leads must cover multiple departments instead of just one. Cost cutting to the extreme, company no longer cares about associates who are not interested in climbing the crooked ladder. Quarterly Bonuses were removed and replaced with an hourly raise that did not equal even 50% of the average bonus. Used to get $300 average quarterly bonus for a regular associate. replacement raise equals to less than $150 per quarter. Corporate have replaced carrot with stick. Were given PPTO to shield from tardy points, only to have it eat into regular PTO and have rates adjusted so associates get less total PPTO&PTO overall now.
