Pros

Pay is competitive for salary managers. I had some great employees that try their best every day.

Cons

- Horrible management structure - Low staffing - Recently downsized HR has made corrective actions and getting issues resolved in a timely manner almost impossible. Upper management has made this place that was once a decent place to work now one of the most miserable experiences in my entire working career. They will demand the world of you as a salaried lead and will work you to death if you let them, and no matter how hard you work it's never enough and they'll always demand more. Morale is low among both department leaders and our team members as well as they are suffering the most in this situation. At the rate their headed with the horribly high pricing along with the way employees are treated I feel they will continue to lose market share in the retail space and it will sadly only get worse from here.

Pros

Generally a good group of people. Work itself isn't terribly hard. Insurance is nice however, the pay is poverty wages,

Cons

Pay is called "competitive" It's competitive in the sense they pay dollars less than their competitors. You will be working solo mostly. There is zero payoff for doing a good job. Raises exist once a year set by union. These raises do not keep up with inflation. ALL PRODUCTS ARE 15-30% more expensive than other stores. Almost no one can afford to shop here that works here. If they do shop here they are paying between 50 cents to dollars more per item. The store is literally ripping off customers and workers. Work is do'able and can be completed if you bust your butt for a bit. The pay off? None. There's no raise, no bonus, they don't remember it for future raises. Working full time and getting between 370 and 500 a week is not livable. They talk about community helping which they do however its the cheapest way to pretend to care vs paying people who work there in the community more so there would be LESS people in need, No sense of purpose.
