Pros

1. Flexible schedule 2. Good coworkers 3. Annual raises 4. Great first job for teenagers or as another stream of income for someone who already has a job 5. Somewhat easy to move up in the ranks

Cons

1. If working in the stockroom, you are often micromanaged because you have to get the truck done on a certain day. So store management and coordinators are constantly on you for any little thing they feel is keeping away from getting the truck done. Often times they would call people from the bathroom if they felt you were taking too long. 2. Store management always asked you to work overtime and would guilt trip you if you didn't 3. Management would overwork those who worked harder to make up for those who didn't, instead of speaking with those who were slacking 4. Breaks are not long enough especially if they schedule you 5.75 hours so they don't have to give you two breaks and a lunch. 5. Management would schedule you whatever hours they want even if it was outside your availability (which was annoying for people who already worked full-time elsewhere or were still I'm school) 6. Working holidays and weekends 7. Terrible customers! 8. If upper management came to the store, then store management would often blame their mistakes on the hourly associates

Pros

Decent coworkers, easy tasks, fine hours

Cons

Managers did not cooperate with me in terms of scheduling as a student (i was scheduled 30 hr weeks several weeks in a row despite communicating that I could not work that much because of school) and I felt like I was expected to bend over backwards for awful customers on a regular basis. Also, when district managers would come in for their yearly review the store managers would enact insane policies to make us look good to district that were never implemented otherwise (i.e. we weren't allowed to drink water on the store floor, even if you were on the register for an entire 8 hour shift.) I also did not like being told to continue aggressively pitching the company credit card to customers who had already told me several times that they were not interested, I feel this created a negative relationship between the customer and employees.
