Pros

Just the weekly pay - nothing else

Cons

Everything else Fake leadership/mgmt. who promise you mountains, but deliver nothing. Hoping you kick butt despite non-unappreciation and broken or malfunctioned equipment. 'Rewarded' with pizza parties and food trucks instead of decent pay and promotions, while they enjoy generous time off and ample vacations at 75K pay ... I could go on. But you get the idea. Company basically nose-dived after the owner Fred's demise and the Covid, never recovering with downed sales creating 'cutbacks' that prevent part timers from going full-time. Though honestly medicare and individual plans are much cheaper. But down line... the place went to wreck. The fake 'great place to work' signs that plaster the back area, and the "now hiring" that grace the front entrances since 2023. Plain laughing stock as they don't keep folks past the orientation. Not at all what it used to be. Incl. Corporate, who USED to be touchable and helpful. NOW unreachable even via email. Working remotely whatnot, hiding out instead of assisting. The whole climate, just a joke to avoid. Note: only the seniority/lifers mainstay as they're at the high capped pay.

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.
