Pros

They will hire ANYBODY who will work cheap.

Cons

* The company is largely run by ex-military and sports stars. They are very backward and disrespectful of women in general: wages, promotions (not one female director in a huge store), simple respect in conversation, or expectations. *They advertise a full time position, then offer you part-time, telling you right at your interview that "you'll probably need a second job"! Outrageously insulting. Then your schedule is constantly all over the map making that impossible. I had one day changed 3 different times. * You will likely lose your job before you ever get into the union (or on the benefits plan). * They fire new people for other peoples' dishonesty and mistakes. I was astounded at what they did to a cashier (after giving her a mere 7 hours off between holiday shifts too). * there is a lot of turf wars between petty managers who are hungry for authority-it's pretty funny sometimes. * There are a LOT of people working there who are hurt. The stores do not invest in adequate equipment, so people are working with defective, dangerous, and inefficient crap. * I wish I had voice-recorded the promises made to me at my interview: all lies! So many lies!

Pros

I would say the most important Pros is benefits for all employees and employee's discount.

Cons

Even though it says "flexible hours", it is not really flexible. The pay is not fair. Cashiers in non-food departments get less pay than cashiers in front-end doing the same job. The management is different by the store as well as the work environment and culture.
