Pros

I get along with everyone I work with and have excellent relationships with fellow store managers and the district manager; employee discount is 25%, and sometimes we get gratis

Cons

The company is CHEAP, CHEAP, CHEAP, from allocating hours for employees to the terrible garbage bags we have to use. The music is AWFUL, and if you work more than four consecutive hours, you'll have to hear the playlist again! There usually aren't enough employees on the floor due to having so few hours to give to employees. This in turn causes customer dissatisfaction and too long of lines at the register. We can't adjust the temperature in the store unless we call corporate so they can do it for us, so we're usually sweating profusely or freezing. We have to clean the bathrooms ourselves; there's no cleaning crew.

Pros

Gratis There are good hard working people that want to do well. I am still there (barely) because I haven’t completely given up that things will be handled/addressed correctly for those not aligned with company vision and expectations. However after 5 years of inaction it’s hard to believe that positive change will actually and maybe just maybe Myself and others that are dedicatedI will be recognized vs taken for granted.

Cons

No furthering development Keep toxic (leaders especially) allowing unacceptable behavior conduct and violation of company code Communication is very poor…it’s inconsistent,For example managers are not provided with direct email accounts so it’s a community email box. This causes a large amount of information to be read by the wrong audience and is not communicated if read by the wrong leader
