Pros

It's a job. Customers when engaged are terrific and treat you like a friend instead of sales person. Very busy which makes the time go by fast.

Cons

Can't work over 40 hours without getting into trouble! They make stupid senseless rules that have to be followed 100% or write ups or suspension! Low pay and no recognition for outstanding customer service! Under staffing causes higher stress on all hard working employees. Hires bodies to fill positions instead of qualified people! Different standards for different employees!! Rewards the slackers and punishes the real workers! Managers only protect their friends and let them get away with all indiscretions! If you're a butt kisser you'll go far with management! You must take your 30 minute unpaid break, but you will never see your 15 minute paid breaks!!! If you call out management and use HR you will be retaliated against and watched very closely until you make even the slightest error and be punished to the extreme maximum!!!

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.
