Pros

extremely lenient with call offs. many chances before write ups are mandatory. weather related absences are excused.

Cons

too lenient with call off's. too many chances given to employees that should have no more chances. good employees are rewarded only if it works to the company's benefit. they promote and hire for the body count, not necessarily for the good of the store/company. (was repeatedly told at holiday time to get bodies hired, it doesn't matter if they are the best.) part-time employees get pooped on and full time should be reprimanded more. also local management talks about all of the employees (good or bad) to everyone. i always knew how managers felt about any employee at any given time.

Pros

The people and the company respects diversity.

Cons

After working there after a year, the no fault hours doesn't kick in, if your hired date falls after December. Working with lazy employees and bonus are not fairly distributed, depending on which shirt you work on.

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.
