Pros
My coworkers were the only thing that kept me at this company. That and the employee discount was pretty good.
Cons
The pay, while I was employed there, was pretty awful. I worked through the COVID-19 pandemic (in a skeleton crew of only management for the first couple of months of reopening) dealing with some pretty awful and belligerent customers who refused to take pandemic store policies seriously, extra cleaning tasks throughout the day, and, of course, the regular everyday store operations. In the late winter/early spring of 2021, our district manager informed us that management was being given a bonus for our hard work and dedication during the pandemic... a 2% bonus. So instead of making $11.00/hr I would be making $11.22/hr. So by the end of a typical 8-hour shift, I could look forward to bringing home an extra $1.76. My point is that the pay was crappy and you have to love the job if you want any chance of being happy. Since I left, I've heard that they increased the starting wage for associates (which was minimum wage), but only after they weren't able to get anyone to work.
