Pros

Some management was pleasant to work with like Robert. The employee discount was nice.

Cons

They expected you to wear several hats and not get paid anymore for it. Never got a raise for the years I worked there. Only “moved” to suit their short comings. Constantly in different departments when short staffed. Expected to work all holidays and had a complete disregard for their employees health. Most management only cared about what was best for them. I needed surgery and was told to delay it a month because my recovery would interfere with their busy season. Went over there head and then suddenly it was “fine.” Lots of disgruntled staff. Be prepared to be talked about based off if you have a better schedule than another coworker. They also sucked with keeping loss prevention to keep us safe. Sorry not gonna risk my life over a crackhead trying to steal. Very petty atmosphere and no sense of community. If you do what they want perfectly then you will be golden, God forbid you have an outside life and family and you will be degraded. You’re worth is determined on how many credit card applications you open and how open your availability is. Management will even pull you aside to ask what other coworkers talk crap about them and say specifically. Like its not my job to report to you every thing someone says about you. Grow up people. Its like a soap opera.
