Pros

Vacation and discount is good and flexible with hours

Cons

I am not allowed to actually do my job with training the staff because I am forced to do freight meaning the staff runs wild. Im also rarely allowed an actual lunch because there is no coverage. The hours of the store change with little notification, some times theyll change the hours the day of.

Pros

I love working here. Its a newer company with room to grow with new stores opening.

Cons

Not enough time to get everything done with freight resets and store recovery. They don't send product based off of store needs so a lot of times you have a lot of back stock of the same items that sits in your backroom. Most stores receive 2 shipment days and it is communicated last minute for an extra shipment day and sometimes its sometimes impossible to change the schedule to process the extra pallets due to store hours.

Pros

Great store staff, great benefits.

Cons

Horrible upper management with no support. my first day my gm quit. For 2 months me and another assistant gm were running the store and we expected AGM #2 to get the job, instead they hired someone who has never worked for fbelow and we had to train her.
