Pros

discount, set break times, half price at salon

Cons

Drama, extremely rude head manager, pay, hours, no training by management. At first I was getting decent hours and shifts now it is always 15 or less hours a week and only a 4 hour shift. Heas manager is just plain rude. Makes it miserable for any and everyone working there regardless if your cashier, salon, presitge or other managment. Rude notes are constantly left everywhere as to why the truck of 5 pallets wasnt finished in 4 hours when only 5 people work truck. Mass cosmetics is just down right horrendous. Many items have no placement on shelves so alot of products don't get put out. You can only have a salon service on Monday-Wednesday even if the salon says it is ok they are open again a rude not is left to both employees. If you do not use your headset when need managemnt you are always corrected saying "if you are a cashier use your headset I will not come up there if not." Head manager gives constant rude remarks, facial expressions and is just awful person. Bag checks are always, you even have to open your fast food cups to her to make sure nothing is in them. Head manager wants everything out ASAP and ad fast as possible yet again rude notes are left because it is sloppy and not in straight lines. We are timed on every box we put away, never is fast enough.

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
