Pros

Good team helps make the days go by.

Cons

Terrible management. They will take advantage of you every chance they get and not pay you enough for the job. Every department is understaffed. Big time theft everyday often times multiple in one day. It’s to the point it is an unsafe work environment. The building is infested with rats and management refuses to do anything about it but put down traps. Food and snacks constantly thrown away because the rats got into it. Rat feces everywhere. It’s disgusting. Only time management cleans the store is when the district manager is coming, it’s embarrassing. Managers constantly have snarky remarks when you ask a question over the radio. Makes you not want to ask for help. They think they’re hilarious and call each other nick names over the radio.

Pros

- Unlimited PTO with 401k match is awesome

Cons

- Performance expectations were often unclear or inconsistently communicated, Feedback was reactive instead of timely and actionable. - Leadership quality varied dramatically by manager, with limited coaching or mentorship. - Constant shifting priorities without adjusting expectations or workload. - Psychological safety was lacking, Honest communication feel risky. - Leadership messaging around culture didn't match day-to-day reality. - Process was often valued more than impact or results. - Compensation well below market, w/little flexibility during negotiations. - I felt excluded from key conversations and opportunities that were important to my success.
