Pros

The managers won't fire you if you slip up because they need the warm bodies to do the work. It's too much effort for them to hire and train a replacement.

Cons

No DEI here. All one race. I was an anomaly color-wise, so I appeared to be, There was a lot of malicious gossip about everyone at the store and about myself. No one works; they stand around talking, Coworkers who had been there longer than others would either 1) bully the other, newer coworkers, 2) take 45-minute to 1-hour breaks without clocking out, making it harder on the coworkers who have to do the lazy person's work for them, and 3) managers and employees alike have reverse racial bias at this location. Sorry to say, but it's true. You're here on Glassdoor for a reason: and I'm fulfilling that reason by being forthcoming and honest; that's what this Glassdoor site is for.

Pros

• Generally work with fantastic people. • Work is not difficult, and time flies when busy. • My bosses collaborated with me to create a schedule that worked, as I often had other commitments. • Overall, a pleasant work experience most days. Get good at what you do and you'll do fine.

Cons

• Some of the senior management was less friendly than others - as to be expected. • Days were very volatile; some could be extremely easy, and others could be a nightmare. • Scheduling was kept rather limited; although I was able to get the hours I wanted, often times management would look to cut hours from departments whenever possible, leaving less support.
