Long hours. Low salary. Little life/work balance.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good Health benefits 50%subsidized by company. 401k company match. Paid time off earned for length of service. Investment in technology to make shopping trips easier.

Cons

Very little work/life balance for salaried staff. Store manager's are expected to work 12hr shifts, 5 to 6 days a week. Assistant store manager's are expected to work 10hr shifts, 5 to 6 days a week while being paid a salary based on 40hrs a week. There are advancement opportunities but most corporate jobs are now based out of Quincy, MA so unless you're in that area you're pretty much stuck on the store level.

Business Outlook

Pros

They allowed to change your schedule if you needed time off, worked better if you were cool with the person doing the schedule People were fun to work and get along with

Cons

Pay sucked, everyone got paid differently for the same exact job and almost none were out of high school. Management would act like children and get sucked into the high school drama of their employees. They also played favorites and were very spiteful if you didnt do something they liked, or if they just didnt like you. No discount on anything, almost no perks in working either full, or part time
