Pros

Pay is great for all positions from cashier to management. Paid time off and sick time accrual is fast.

Cons

New manager has ruined this store. Harassed me until I quit and Allows other managers to do the same. Time off gets refused most of the time. Threatens employees. Makes fun of disabled employees also. (myself included) There is no proper training here. Couple days and you get thrown to the wolves. Do not recommend working here. Its not worth the money. Your peace of mind is worth more. No room for growth. Its promised but never happens. The company is a great company to work for, just not this store. Absolutely no work life balance.
