Pros

When starting to work here people are very nice, and it is a easy job after you get to know the location of everything.

Cons

Full time opportunities are only available for assistant manager and up in most states as opposed to the job posting. We are always understaffed due to corporate set hour budgets, to the point where a single person gets schedule to close the whole store and will get yelled at for not being able to complete all the nightly tasks. The passive aggressiveness repeatedly makes the workplace feel hostile. The hours can be up and down, when holidays rolled around and sales were up they actually choose to cut hours even though profits are up and our store repeatedly won awards for being one of the "best", Current upper Management will always have a reason to cut hours at these stores to generate more profit. Customers are complaining about the store being empty during the holidays when we are packed but management doesn't care, repeatedly cut hours after store profits are up and we increased sales.

Pros

Unique products and mostly friendly environment.

Cons

Pay is low for what it is. Extremely unclear responsibilities, no set standards, and no emphasis on training as Store Manager and Assistant Store Manager wanted Sales Leads to do their job responsibilities instead of focusing on their own and would actually cancel trucks instead of focusing on pushing freight. Both management only had work experience no degrees or certificates for retail management and sadly it showed. Inconsistent closing schedules. Even management would stock incorrect item colors, styles, and sizes, over other items just to get it out of the backroom, but then the rest of us would get the blame and have to waste time fixing it.
