I really loved this job when I first started working there, and after I was promoted I started seeing how horrible it really was. Management sits in the back office and talks bad about the employees, most of the time I was on the floor the managers would sit in the back and gossip instead of helping on the floor.
Turnover rate was HORRIBLE, no one wanted to work there because no one was trained well enough or paid enough. You start out minimum wage and if you're lucky, you MAY get a 2-3% raise after a year. If you're promoted, you'll get .10¢-.50¢ raise depending on the position.
On call shifts are required and they're not good about working around school/other jobs. I was often given an on-call shift outside of my availability and when I got a second job I was scheduled outside of my availability.
Very short shifts, often only 3-4 hours. You only get a 30 minute unpaid lunch if you work more than 5 hours (and often you wouldn't get one at all). If you work 8+ hours, you don't get an extra or longer break.
Overall a VERY immature work environment. I felt like I was attending high school all over again. The pay isn't worth the hard work you do (especially if you're a stock associate).
