Pros

The pay The benefits The team

Cons

On my first day store Manager was already telling me negative comments about my personality while trying to gossip about her employees and possible mental health disorders. Within a week I was told the team doesn't trust or know me and to step it up. She also told me I had to give personal information to the team for them to trust me Not ADA,Fire, or weights and measures compliant and they don't care when I refused to lie about it I was offered a demotion. Only criticism and not appreciated while expected to go above and beyond They do anything to look good and save money to get their bonus Management gossiping about everyone Employees ask for hours or help to accomplish something or make a department better are told no and not given another solution and then blamed for the task not being done Employees are asked to tasks work a different department that are a safety risk for that employee. No training FAVORITISM. I left within 6 months to a lower paying job for my mental health and to not be apart of what is going on here.

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.
