Pros

The company values, even if not always represented at the store level are well intended. The work was simple if not very labour intensive. Could get very good checks due to almost always getting lots of overtime

Cons

Almost always had to work lots of overtime. I regularly worked 55 to 60 hour weeks all of which was spent stocking shelves or breaking down trucks, all while managing a team. The work often felt insurmountable. As the overnight leader, I would be expected to hand off a perfect store, and expected to stay if there were problems. The rest of the stores leadership seemed to have no accountability held over them, even in cases where their negligence harmed the business.

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.
