Pros

Very great hard working employees that are there who helped to make your shift and work environment good as well support each other. That is the ONLY thing that made it good. Fast paced, never a same work day. Decent starting pay and good health benefits.

Cons

Upper management and store manager especially doesn’t listen, makes it hard for you to do your job. Poor upper management by the store manager. Lack of leadership, does not like to listen, no work life balance, rush job who only cares to get bonuses. No matter how hard you work you won’t be valued or appreciated at all. Scheduling conflict.
