Pros

You get paid weekly, most units expect same from all people. Workers did way more than what they got paid for. Loved the friendships I started there.

Cons

Dont plan a vacation because the week will be blacked out and reservations will be nonrefundable because you get such short notice. Basiclly Jan and Feb you can get maybe a week after that you go into summer . Aug You may b\get some time off. Otherwise dont plan on it. Even when authorized ahead of time it can be taken away. Expected to do more than 8 hrs of work in 8 hrs. Absentee points should not be given for family illness if you can prove it. High stress level. Insurance pricey.

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.
