Pros

Easy to get a job at

Cons

The dismal pay. Horrible upper management, lack of communication. The company runs on a shoestring budget and allows stores to be filthy and unkept. Staff is given impossible amount of work with no payroll and is pathetically compensated for the amount of work they do.

Pros

Weekly pay was awesome but that's it.

Cons

A bunch of work. You get fired if injured on the job to prevent company from paying workmans comp.

Pros

Great customers, vendors are easy to work with

Cons

Corporate has unrealistic expectations. One person working by themselves for 5-10 hours are expected to stock freight, check in vendors, work a cash register, recover store and handle computer work. They’re flabbergasted that one person can’t do it all. They also aren’t willing to pay a decent wage. My 18 year old makes more at a fast food store than I do as an assistant manager. They can’t keep help as they only pay minimum wages. Many times we only have a manager , assistant manager and one cashier to work the store from 8 am to 10 pm, seven days a week.
