Pros

-Family Discount was great. -Offer some incentives for non salary employees.

Cons

-Very little training. -Senior Management wasn't open to hearing others, and not willing to enforce rules. -Favoritism was common. -Wasn't great at giving constructive cristisism, and was hard to praise when it was deserved. -Very high expectations but wasn't able to provide the necessary tools needed to complete excessive amount of work. -Some management wasn't able to practice what they preach, making it very hard to maintain company morale. -Micromanaging. -Dished out hours only to take them away.

Pros

The discounts are great! If one of the good managers/team leads is working, I'll be able to get an extra smoke break or maybe even two. Otherwise, it's not happening. They've been very, very flexible with everyone's hours! Much better than anywhere else I've worked! I really appreciate that the majority of the staff haven't been racist, discriminating, judgemental, etc. They've given work opportunities to all types of people (they're not picky on one's race, disability, age, looks, etc). 👍 They really do seem to be an equal-opportunity employer.

Cons

There has been lots and lots of theft because they have absolutely no security other than their products' tags. Almost rarely do we see a janitor or the manager. It's been very hard to get used to coworkers because they're constantly going through staff! It's not just me that's been bothered by it. Plus, SO many staff, including myself, have always whined and complained about our lack of hours, but the full-time staff get overtime?! Yeah, the amount of hours absolutely sucks when it's not a big "shopping" time! Your best luck for getting your wanted hours is only around Christmas and back-to-school. 🙄
