Pros

Benefits are good if you even get enough hours to keep them. Pay is good one you are topped out, but then again its really only good if you get the hours for a decent paycheck.

Cons

Everything. Management is awful at pretty much any location. There is little to no appreciation. It doesn't matter how hard you work or how much effort you put in, you will constantly be criticized. They don't want you talking at all and they constantly push onto us to have good customer service but then get mad at you for talking to customers... Managment for the most part are lazy. I understand they have orders and such from corporate, but they also have enough down time to be having long non work related convos on the sales floor with each other or other associates. The list goes on and on. I do not recommend working for this company. literally everyone is miserable. They switch management constantly and promote literally anyone anymore. This company doesn't follow its values that it promotes. They constantly cut hours. people are getting less than 20 hrs a week and there is definitely favoritism as well. This company makes record profits and the employees get nothing to show for it, just more hours taken away.

Abusive Employer

Pros

Discounts, bonuses, health care plan

Cons

Scheduling salary managers to work 9 days in a row, 10 hours a day is both excessive and abusive. If you needed a certain schedule for religious purposes, they will schedule you to work overnight when that is not your normal schedule just because you requested time. If you needed to go to church on a Sunday during your lunch, you had to work even more extra time than the 50 hours they already scheduled you. Real cliquish backstabbing type atmosphere. Company spends too much money changing its mind and focuses on things that in grand scale of things - don't really matter to customers. Very slim amount of diversity at the top. Their faux BLM campaign dried up very quickly as soon as it was off the news. Not the greatest training plan for new managers.

Pros

Adequate, consistent pay, daily if you want it, even. Easy work if you have any people skills. Strong union and good, cheap, benefits once they kick in. (One year for health, two for dental)

Cons

Corporate is horrible and constantly cuts hour budgets, management is forced to schedule about half as many people as the store actually needs, they won't pay a few hundred a day to staff loss prevention but they'll let thousands of dollars of product get stolen that could've easily been stopped. Good managers often get promoted and moved to other stores very quickly and replaced with incompetent people. New hires are thrown in on the deep end with little to no training, the store offers online training called 'Fresh Start' that's actually just useless busywork not even related to the employee's department, i.e a clothing stocker being tested on deli slicer safety in their daily 'training'. People constantly call in sick and management doesn't want to offer people overtime to cover the opened hours.
