Pros

Great co workers and environment, growth opportunities for growing resume and experience. Bonus can be great. Free life insurance, free cell phone with unlimited talk and text after 30 days, free telehealth, after 1 year we can buy into their stock program. Matched 401k, benefits. Repay some college, and people perks for 50 percent off of food and 20 cents per gal off gas. Great effort in making us feel valued.

Cons

Too much work on the store manager. Managers have to do cashier sometimes for a full shift plus their management paperwork audits, signage, video meetings, hiring, employee issues and so on. Management are basically on fall 24 hours a day: they do not pay enough for the management to constantly be on call.

Pros

Benefits such as health/medical insurance

Cons

Massive company. I worked a couple different roles from the “corporate” side, even if I was in stores a lot of the time. One thing I learned is that the “office” or “corporate” roles don’t really have a day off. Sure, it’s a Monday-Friday job but it’s like regardless of what you do there, you’re on call in some way but there isn’t any sort of incentive in return. You’re likely not going to get a sufficient work-life balance working here, because, again, someone is going to be calling or emailing you on the weekend or in the evening where either you have to handle it, or pass it onto someone else who can. Lack of thorough vetting has resulted in unqualified leadership with challenging management styles that hurt daily team morale.
