Pros

-They're very flexible with your work hours. If you're in school and you show your schedule, they usually will schedule you to work around that. - They do profit sharing. If your store operates a certain percentage profitable every year if you work for 1,000 hours that year you qualify for a bonus check. Each year that amount you receive will increase, but I believe there's a cap after 6 years.

Cons

-The pay isn't enough to support a family, if you have one. -High turn over rate -It's customer service so you will be working around a lot of older men. If you're a woman, (& some men) they can try to get handsy, and flirty. -The store I was at, the cashiers worked directly in front of 2 doors. So when it was cold outside, they were freezing at their cash registers. -Hard to get promoted -If you're part time and you want benefits, be prepared to pay half of what you make a month towards those benfits

Pros

A few of the people are nice to work with.

Cons

A store manager who talks down to employees like they're children (and apparently gets promoted for it). A store manager who acts like employees are idiots for calling him to ask questions. Raises are pathetic. Understaffed because the store manager won't allow enough labor hours to do the job, particularly on Sundays when there's a lot of freight.
