Pros

Weekly paycheck. Don't have to clean much of anything.

Cons

Corporate is extremely greedy, I had been there 86 days when I worked new years Eve and New year's day, when I asked why I didn't get holiday pay they told me that I had to be there 90 days, they'll think of any excuse not to pay their employees. The point system is terrible, I was let go because I had 3 absences in a 45 day period, 2 of those absences we're because my grandmother passed away and I was out of town at her FUNERAL. When told them this they said "everyone has their reasons, it still counts as an absenteeism". DO NOT WORK HERE UNLESS YOU HAVE NO OTHER OPTIONS! If you do work here expect your hours to be cut in half random weeks. They say they are a "family company" but they absolutely could not care less about their employees.

Pros

Direct coworkers were great to work with. I also enjoyed being left to do my work and not babysat by management.

Cons

Management doesn't know what they are doing. Resets and floor plans were regularly not done properly. The store I worked at has a skeleton crew so I never got help (but was expected to stop everything I'm going to go help other departments/areas). Also meaning good luck to any customers needing help, especially when I was the only person working my area of the store, so when I wasn't there, no one was. Management also regularly disappeared into the offices or were on vacation. Also was terminated for reasons outside my control even though I was told they look at the reasons for attendance incidents before termination. Never got to get the FMLA or accommodation to my doctors before being terminated two days after I requested them. Didn't bother asking for a raise either. I did multiple times and got nothing.
