Pros

Decent pay, not the best but not worst. Some coworkers are motivating and easygoing, others make me miss factory work.

Cons

Managers like to keep you past end of shift and store close, asked me to quit college for work. Get told I can't take lunches unless the area has no one in it and there's no one else from my department (usually 15+ people) on a break. Got 2 write ups for my car breaking down and not being able to make it to work, and was also told I couldnt miss the day when my car broke down in the parking lot. Managers like to make lude comments on the radio, which 9 times out of 10 there's a guest that can hear what is being said. Company is all about making money, even if that means yanking someone around for an hour because we don't have what they want but want them to buy things anyway. We close at 10, and every night when 10 hits I usually say "okay 1 more hour until we can go home!" Because it's usually true. Even when my entire department is clear, they keep us over to do the morning stockers jobs. Finally, for some god awful reason, when the department has 30+ employees managers find it a good idea to schedule 10-15 employees for the course of the day, to cover 8 areas of the entire department, which is about half the size of the store.

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.
