Pros

The only good thing I can say is the customers were very nice.

Cons

I was hired to be a part time home shopper and ended up being mostly a cashier. They do not tell you this when you apply to be a home shopper and are hired for that either. As a cashier you are on your feet doing very physical work (who knew being a cashier was so physical?)..having to beg for a break. They schedule you 15 minutes shy of having to give you a half hour lunch break which is basically skirting the law. Home shopping was fine and actually fun to do, but they kept making excuses for not putting me where I was hired to be (mostly because they cannot keep cashiers and were desperate-they will tell you after the fact that cashiering is part of the front end of which home shopping is part of). They took 3 weeks to train me for home shopping...something that could have been accomplished in 3 days. You are timed as a home shopper which can be problematical if you have a lousy produce department or the hand held computers you use continually break down as happens to be the case in this store. The workers and management in the store I worked in were unfriendly and unhappy; no comradery, no teamwork. The management did not seem to care about the workers or anything else. The pay is lousy, and even if they do have benefits, if you cannot afford them ...what good are they? The turnover in this store was unbelievable and I am not surprised. Without a doubt the worst working experience I have ever had in my career. I quit after 6 weeks.

Pros

You get paid every week.

Cons

• They talk to you like you're stupid. • Their tone becomes more aggressive when you don't brown nose them. • They don't lead by example nor implement any teamwork. • They make daily operations more difficult to complete as a flex. • They disguise their racism towards employees as company policy institution. • They become spiteful when you don't fall in line and take out their frustration on your workers while store management look the other way. • They talk negatively about you in group chats and emails. • They pretend to be inefficient when they don't want to help. • They harass & imprison your workers as soon as you clock out (by eyewitness accounts). • Management will sabotage your evaluation, hire special needs people for critical thinking jobs, & accept underperforming associates from other stores just to save money. • Higher-ups will deny qualified applicants employment while conspiring to hire the children of old classmates who purposefully show up to work late. • Store management will physically assault minors who steal on the premises and act openly racists to shoppers of color.
