Pros

Advanced fast, but only because they couldn’t keep people

Cons

They never trained me, but constantly told me how I was wrong. I had an emergency with my son, and called the manager of the store. She told me to “just deal with it, because she wasn’t coming in”. He was admitted for trying to harm himself, and I was stuck at work. THEN, the district manager, referred to my son, as an “issue that needs dealt with”. They will abuse you by yelling at you, and guilt tripping you into working your days off, or coming in early, and if you say no, they scream at you. Also, screenshots don’t lie.

Pros

coworkers, location, employee discount, items sold, and that's it

Cons

the management is horrible, nothing is organized and the GM refuses to listen to anyone. he overworks everyone and expects them to do everything while he goes and sits in his office for 6 hours straight. I can't believe upper management has said nothing about how he's running the store.
