Pros

There are no pros for this company.

Cons

Cheapest company with 1990s registers, understaffed, the rudest customers I’ve ever dealt with, bathrooms you have to clean, disgusting store, overpriced products. Forced people into TSA pre check contractor roles for low pay. Store is 80 degrees in the summer. Lift heavy boxes with no assistance, mail stuff, in store pickup, print customers yell at you 10x a day, etc. I’d rather be gone than work at this place again.

Pros

There are no pros to working for this company.

Cons

Low pay, grueling hours, unsafe and toxic work environment. The company does not offer opportunities for its sore employees to advance to the corporate sector; especially if you have a college degree. As a store employee neither you, your expertise and skill set, nor your ideas on how to improve workflow and company culture matter.
