Pros

• Some front-line coworkers are hardworking and decent people. • The employee discount can be helpful for home projects.

Cons

· Systemic Retaliation: I experienced severe retaliation after requesting a reasonable accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) related to family caregiving. Management's response was not to engage in an interactive process, but to begin a campaign of fabrication to force me out. · Falsification of Records: After I disclosed my need for accommodation, the company, in concert with its third-party HR agent, Thomas & Company, began retroactively falsifying attendance records. I have irrefutable evidence, including a photo of the original schedule and text messages with my supervisor, that disproves the "No Call/No Show" allegations used to justify my termination. · Wrongful Termination: I was wrongfully terminated on August 9, 2024. This was not for performance, but as a direct punishment for asserting my legal rights. An internal HR letter later confirmed my separation was "involuntary," directly contradicting the false "job abandonment" narrative they tried to create. · Post-Termination Harassment: The company continued its retaliation even after I was gone, providing falsified information to the Texas Workforce Commission to actively block my unemployment benefits, causing significant financial harm and housing instability. · A Culture of Fear: Based on my experience, this is not a company that values honesty or its employees. It is an organization where management will manipulate data, break laws, and destroy lives to avoid accommodating a simple request. The "Open Door Policy" is a trap; using it to report issues only paints a target on your back.

Pros

Some amazing customers and coworkers. Tasks and systems were easy to learn. Sometimes you get lucky and have amazing ASMs and SMs. It's easy to get a good survey when you treat customers like friends, be honest about what you do and don't know, and work to learn what you don't. That goes a long way with customers. I personally truly loved my job and loved spending as much time as I could at work.

Cons

Once you are on someones S*** List they will make it possible to get rid of you. Management only follows policy when it benefits them. Some people get promoted when they have no business working in retail as a leader. The A/C in the store I worked in was always broken during the summer, which made it miserable to work. Some customers are entitled due to they way management will kiss their butts to keep from losing a sale or getting a bad review. Management will make a paper trail to write you up if you mess up or are struggling instead of helping you better yourself. Management does not care about employees' work-life balance. Management does not care if their employees are struggling with personal issues like car troubles, health issues, financial issues, etc. Management will get rid of great employees but keep people who don't pull their weight. Once I hit burnout, instead of helping me, I was punished by my managers. In turn making me hate a job I truly loved.
