Pros

Fun Co-workers Plenty of work to do Fun potlocks Family oriented work place Offers education reimbursement

Cons

Stuck in the the 60's, no one listens to creative/inventive ideas, or there is so much push back to change. Everything is very stagnant because "this is how it's always been done" There is no room for innovation or forward thinkers.

Pros

There are many nice customers coming through your line who make your day.

Cons

There are several supervisors who think they know everything and refuse to listen to their fellow employees who never attended college. They would constantly cut hours, and full-time for the company is 30 hours. I was on their health insurance, and would they consistently cut my hours to the point where I almost was kicked off of their insurance. There were front end supervisors who had worked there less time than me who became supervisors. Many cashiers would come to me asking for help because most supervisors would retaliate against them. All the people in management who were excellent would move onto another store in the company. Their benefits are an absolute joke, as it cost nearly $150 per paycheck for insurance. B & R also self insures and likes to fire people just before their one year "evaluation", as you have to work for the company for at least one year to become an employee owner. They are always understaffed and likes to set up cashiers and courtesy clerks for failure. I had times when I was the only register open and there were at least eight people waiting in line and after calling more help, nobody would show up. The same thing would happen when I needed a courtesy clerk. They also give very little notice about your upcoming hours, and our store's HR person also worked at another B & R store and was "fake nice".
