Pros

- Good people at the store level (mostly) - Mostly kind customers - Proud of being able to assist in providing affordable essentials to the community. - Quick promotional opportunities available

Cons

- There's never enough hours allocated by corporate to ensure full staffing of the store and completion of all tasks - Endless freight with no end in sight; endless list of other tasks to complete that are never fully completed because of short staffing and being redirected to other needs within the store - High school level workplace drama - No real breaks for assistant managers; wage and hour violations as a result - Unsafe work environment at times - assistant mgrs sometimes required to run store alone at night, which is an incredibly risky practice - Zero work life balance especially for part time positions; completely open availability seems to be required for managers - Atrocious pay: less than $3 above the minimum wage as an assistant manager, $0.85 above min wage for cashiers. - Schedules sometimes change on very short notice (even the day of) without notification to staff from district level management - No regular specific days off; impossible to plan around the schedule due to inconsistency - Mentally draining and exhausting - rampant burnout in lower level store management. - Many strict policies and procedures that can be easy to forget about/unknowingly violate, running the risk of discipline - Training is not thorough enough - Assistant managers have no life and are basically slaves to the store.
