Pros

It's an honest living, with some decent benefits if you can make it to that point.

Cons

Horrible working conditions, aside from the pet dandur, fleas, rat feces, and very heavy dust, you have unreasonable working conditions. If the person sending the totes is mad at you or does not like you then you will never meet your quota. Not enough proper functioning equipment to get the job done, like pricing guns. God forbid you ask for personal protective equipment, they get mad at you for that. They scream at you in front of all your co-workers and think nothing of it (workplace bullying). The employees that have been here for years treat new people very poorly and no one does anything about that. Overall, not worth the extreme stress for a job that pays only minimum wage. The supervisors are a joke. They are the bullyies and do nothing but intimidate people. It's almost comical how they do it, they have nothing better to do? Someone with higher authority or a company spy should go in and experience what its like. Maybe something would get done. Find a different job!

Pros

The work is easy in general. Store employees are generally cashiers who are also required to do other tasks such as stocking clothing and wares, maintaining store cleanliness, and removing items from the store that have been there too long without selling. The store employee job is really fun just to see all the random stuff that comes and goes every day!

Cons

Production has very little customer interaction, and is focused on speed and accuracy. Employees are allowed to socialize a lot more back here, so it can be more laid back. The goals each day in production can often be highly unreasonable. This creates a sense of "sarcastic morale". Promotion seems difficult to attain with my own personal and others who have shared their experiences. Promotion is more centered around what kind of personality and "look" you display to the customer, rather than accomplishing tasks for the store itself. If you want to be promoted, you must be near optimum health regardless of your ability to be effective, and you must be downright clean cut.
