Pros

Can't think of many pros

Cons

The pay is too low for the amount of work you do. They want you to train in each department basically though your self taught and on your own and then expect you to pass tests to move on to next department. The department head is supposed to help with this but they are too busy to train. Then after you are awesome enough to do this you get shipped off somewhere across the state because don't expect to work anywhere near your home. Actually, many managers move. These people are young 20 somethings that have nothing tying them down like family so they can work the demanding 60 hour a week work schedule and move. During covid they gave us a whopping raise to 14.00 an hour. Took it away when they felt the coast was clear. You do it all in that store. Be prepared for injury and exhaustion.

Pros

40+ Hours per week of work guaranteed.

Cons

A toxic work environment can lead to termination without warning. Senior management prioritizes their interests and the company’s well-being, often disregarding employees’ rights and legal obligations. HR’s role is to protect senior management and the company, potentially at the expense of employees’ rights. Senior management continually chooses to a blind eye to wrong doing of favored employees, while knowingly prioritizing punishment of lower employees using fabricated policies that aren’t actually within store policy and procedures. Lack of accountability, lack of transparency, and lack of integrity run rampant with in the store and company. Unethical hiring practices, and weaponized incompetence to justify the out right gaslighting of your financial income and incentives. Pay deductions common place.
