Cons

-Poor work life balance -Scheduling & availability were a HUGE issue.

For example, climbing unstable fixtures, poor ventilation & AC, falling boxes, climbing ladders in unsafe areas -Encouraged to overwork -Promises of promotions given by recruitment staff were unfounded -Questions about benefits given to full time employees were not answered or heavily delayed by HR -Internal HR unresponsive to complaints & comments -Hours & paychecks were often wrong & would sometimes take weeks to be corrected -Several employees were hospitalized due to work place injuries

Pros

You learn a lot of the business; scheduling and payroll, labor management, how to create a daily workflow to accomplish business objectives. You're provided with detailed insights into a store's operations- it's P&L statement, total inventory and how convert key data into actionable plans. Simply put, you are challenged and will learn a lot.

Cons

Company and store experience varies greatly by store location. Unfortunately, management favoritism results in certain individuals getting better treatment and greater access to professional opportunities. Additionally, Company HR is very tepid when addressing store issues pertaining to behaviors exhibited by store management towards associates. Scheduling can be very inflexible and unaccommodating.
