Pros

Fun and great corporate culture. Made up for lower pay. Hard work but do actually promote from within

Cons

Pretty cheap company (it's a discount store) but made up for it in very positive atmosphere and unusually supportive corporate culture. A few things made me leave - customer even more needy than usual during and after pandemic. I'm getting too old for retail my body can't do the physical labor anymore. I got better paying job in a different field. Changes in management what can you do? :)

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.
